Why we picked it
Wirecutter's Best Heavy-Duty Screwdriver Set — chrome-plated and heat-treated tips
The Klein Tools 85078 is the 8-piece all-purpose screwdriver set r/BuyItForLife electricians and r/electricians both recommend. Four Phillips and four flat-head tips covering the full residential and light-commercial range — the tip spread the smaller 7-piece 85076 set lacked. Heat-treated chrome-plated shafts, square shanks for wrench-assisted torque, and Klein's signature Cushion-Grip handles. Made in the USA. Klein has been making tools for tradespeople since 1857; these survive decades of professional electrical and mechanical service.
