The Dark Wob

Wera seem about as reasonably priced as snap on

At one point I had a stupidly large collection of Halfrauds screwdrivers from when they gave them away with the oil I keep buying, apparently they weren't mine though.

WTF is a chisel screwdriver?

A screwdriver with a toughend end on the backend that goes right through to the shaft at the frontend, so you can hit/abuse it with a hammer.

Ah, the un-professional's choice.

Good for taking tiles off, lifting/butchering floor boards etc.

Interesting.

Me? I use the appropriate chisel or screw driver as required

I detest abusing tools

Paul is a plumber, to him the correct tool is the first one you can reach.

So do I. But if it's designed to be used in that way, is it abuse?

They're handy for rusted and stuck fasteners. Allows a good whack to define a screwing face and also help break the bond between fastener thread and threaded thread.
