I love to use these screwdrivers...they make such a nice quiet sound as apposed to the whirl of todays drivers. These were given to me by an old master finish carpenter. I love to listen his stories and visit his days where there was few power tools,but lots  human power and skill.

Have often drooled at them in the few catalogues that show them (or did up to 10-15 years ago), but had never seen a "boxed set". Nor have i seen them at garage sales. Somehow, other tools have been higher on my priority list. Considering how often we used them to construct/deconstruct theatre sets, they'd have never been in a box! They have/had a precise "feel" for how much pressure was needed or being used that is completely lacking in electrics. You do have to pre-drill (and they will do that too) to put a screw in hardwood - where an electric will just keep trying 'till it busts the screw or splits the wood.
