Performance Tool Keychain Screwdrivers

*Picked up these 3 toys altogether for $1.49 at pep boys. Great little set of screwdrivers / prybar / bottle opener for the keychain at a cheap price!

I love the design, but at that price I really doubt the steel.

RyanMalpiede · Jul 17, 2005

Aluminium - So light duty.

I have a pair of these. They've performed fine thus far.

Paul Davidson · Jul 17, 2005

The screwdrivers are aluminum? Aluminum (aluminium for our friends across the pond) is a great material for a lot of applications, but for screwdrivers? I think not.

Quiet Storm · Jul 17, 2005

And an aluminum prybar? Very light duty, I guess.

RyanMalpiede · Jul 17, 2005

Yeah I wouldn't try to jimmy a door with it, but a can of paint works fine.

RyanMalpiede · Jul 17, 2005

*After closer inspection I would say it was not aluminium, cardiomone do you agree? Not 440 or 420 for sure.

Metal very similar to the carftsman 4-in-1 ...

They are sturdy enough for light duty.

Do you think they are in all Pep Boys? I want to get a couple of them then. I have an old "original" Proto flatblade like this from decades back. That has awesome steel for the tool. We were discussing similar tools on This old thread

Look decent enough to toss into a small gear bag.

Those things go for big bucks on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6193304523&category=4122&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1 , I used to have one but havent been able to find it forever....

I just got a Stanley old school one for $6.75 shipped off of ebay. I would say that all pep boys would carry them, all the ones in my town do. However, I would say they are not up to the same standard as the old school ones. I would have to test them to see.

Well that sounds better.

I will have to stop in Pep Boys and check them out. I've been wanting one of the Proto drivers but didn't want to pay a "collector's price."

RyanMalpiede · Jul 18, 2005

I carry this little 4 pronged screwdriver around the neck on a break away black thread.

It's about as big as a quarter.

Paul Davidson · Jul 18, 2005

I got a couple of those Vic drivers from some nice Pirate.

One is on my keychain and I gave the other to a friend. Excellent for small screws.

Yep.
Sack that and get an Atwood prybaby

dfarmerknives · Jul 19, 2005

I love my prybaby.

I picked up a bunch at Pep Boys this morning. Great stocking stuffers for the grandkids.
