Screwfix VDE Screwdriver Set
Hi all,
Was looking for a set of VDE screwdrivers for occasional use, found these at Screwfix :- https://www.screwfix.com/p/magnusson...t-12-pcs/611jj Currently on offer for £9.99 so less than £1 per driver! Magnusson brand which I think is Screwfix/B&Q own brand, pretty decent quality especially considering the price. Kev |

Re: Screwfix VDE Screwdriver Set
They're looking like that they're becoming a popular brand at Screwfix. That's a very good price for a well equipped set of VDE screwdrivers.

Re: Screwfix VDE Screwdriver Set
For anyone who might wish to know what the testing and certification regime of 'VDE' certified tools is, you'll find it here:

Re: Screwfix VDE Screwdriver Set
Strangely, Screwfix appear to have upped the price to £15.99 for this set.....

Re: Screwfix VDE Screwdriver Set
Could anyone confirm the sizes and types as it appears from the picture that only two of the nine are flat blades!

Re: Screwfix VDE Screwdriver Set
When I brought my set over a week ago from Screwfix, the online price showing was £9.99, which is what I paid.
From Post 1 the OP said they were on offer (although at the time I saw nothing stating this on the Screwfix website), so maybe they are no longer on offer at that price, hence the £15.99 price now showing. David |
