Just wondering how good are forge steel screw drivers, tool boxes(organisers) and pliers are, as screw fix are having a january sale, and looking to add to my tool collection. Thanks in advance
I answer 2 questions a week from people wondering if so-and-so brand make good tools. Listen I am a Professional Contractor, and I will tell u my guys and I hammer the **** out of them. I follow 1 simple rule when buying tools- buy the best u can afford always. In the case of screwdrivers, wrenches, handtools.....buy craftsman. Spend a little more now and save lots later. The collection u are adding to will thank you.
Go craftsman not bad prices and lifetime warranty.
forged steel is a trick to get people like you who know nothing of steel to think of a blacksmith hammering away at a anvil making great tools. Not to say they are bad they are probably fine. but forged just means it was made when the steel was hot, it says nothing of the quality of steel in the process. however whenever steel is forged it will be stronger than the same product made out the same steel, but shaped by machining process.
