Wheeler 89 Piece Gunsmithing Screwdriver Set with Durable Construction and Storage Case for Gunsmithing and Maintenance

muy completo buena calidad

I bought this 89 piece set as a permanent fixture of my work bench. This is a great set of screwdrivers for working on my firearms. Most of the items and projects I work on require a good assortment of hollow ground flat blade drivers. This 89 piece set included 54 flat blades and some of the easily damaged tips are doubled up on (two #1, two #2 bits) for some reason those two sizes I tend to heavily use. I found it interesting that this 89 piece had 54 flat blade tips but the 100 piece set only comes with 28 flat blades. Make sure the set you get is well stocked with the sizes you need. Bigger isn't necessarily better. The 100 piece set does not even include one #1 flat blade. The only reason I didn't give the set 5 stars is that the magnets in the drivers are not as powerful as an older Wheeler driver I have. Although I don't think it will be a problem I would have appreciated a little more secure insertion of the tips. The case seems to be fairly durable and honestly an upgrade over the previous model. I'm not a professional Smith but I think this set will greatly assist in my amateur level projects and tinkering.

Excellent quality stuff as always with Wheeler gunsmithing products. I have come to find that even if it cost more than others go with the Wheeler for the strength and durability. I will never buy Real Avid stuff again cause it doesn't stand up to even nominal use. Wheeler sets the standard.

I originally ordered the other one on here, and previously had ordered the digital FAT Wrench from wheeler as well, and the FAT wrench was the newer version and the other screwdriver set was the older version, I wanted them to match (and have the newer set) so I returned the other set and got this one, verifying the SKU# on wheelers’ site, so if you get this listing this is the newer set, not what the listing picture shows, that picture on this listing is the discontinued set BEFORE the other older one I got before. I included a picture so others can see exactly which set you are getting (the newer version, with the updated handles and black phosphate coating to prevent rusting), I assume they just haven’t updated the picture yet.

This set does not include some of the most commonly used Torx bits, i.e. TT8 and TT9. Rendering it pretty much useless to armature gunsmiths. Causing even more doubt in the product is that the top and bottom of the case do not lock together with the case latches. If you keep it, get a rubber band to keep contents from raining out when overturned. I hope the bits are not as soft or brittle as those in other sets of Wheeler gun tools. I bought this set because I broke off my TT 08 bit from a smaller Wheeler set using it under pretty normal circumstances. On to better steel and better designed kits.
