Stanley has introduced a number of FatMax tools in the last few years. Frankly, I think some of the FatMax tools are just marketing gimmicks, but the screwdrivers are some of the best I've ever used. What makes these screwdrivers special is the tri-lobe grip (FatMax grip) which makes them easier to grip and easier to apply torque. You can buy cheaper screwdrivers at your local hardware store and they are likely to have simple round or square handles. I have many of these ... screw drivers which I now use for opening paint cans. The FatMax screwdrivers are so much more comfortable that I will search my shop for one before I'll resort to using a cheapy screwdriver. The tri-lobe handle design has been in the Stanley product line for over 15 years and I would say that it is as important an innovation as some of the stuff Stanley did with hand planes over a hundred years ago.

Previous to buying the Stanley 6pc. FatMax Screwdriver Set I had used everything from a coin (quarters were a favorite) to a nail file or a knife for my screwdriving needs. Once in a while I'd buy a cheap supermarket screwdriver which survived only one or two uses before it self-destructed. Well those days are over. Now I can hold my head high when someone asks to borrow a screwdriver or when I have to use one in my home for I know that this new set will not disentegrate after a couple of uses. I've used most of the six in this set and not only have they NOT self-destructed but they exhibit a glossy, high-tech look what with the chubby black handles and black tips. This is a great set for anyone who has spent a lot of money over the years on cheap screwdrivers and/or is tired of breaking off the tips of their expensive Henkel knives. This set would make a great Christmas gift for the tool-impaired man or woman in your life.

I make much of my living as a handyman. This set has been going strong for several years. I find this set has all you need for almost any repairs around the house. The grips are big and comfortable and the rubber coating is a big plus. I find I don't have to grip them so hard to get alot of power. The tips seem pretty tough as I'm not seeing very little wear. One minor complaint is the rubber end cap on the small slotted screwdriver comes off sometimes. Not a big deal as it pops back on easily.

I recently bought this set of screwdrivers and they are great... the grip is AWSOME! but yesterday i broke of the tip on a flat head.. so i took it back to the store and they replaced the whole set.. It's a great set..
