How is the strength/durability of the screw driver tips?

I have no durability complaints after minimal use. I have older Stanley screw drivers in my toolbox and they are holding up well too.

I don't have an answer for you; I bought the set for my Square Dance Club, based on its convenience and my previous satisfaction with Stanley products. But I haven't used the screw driver tips in this kit yet.

The ONLY thing I don't care about this driver is that it requires some resistance to get going. Once the screw has started in the threads and there is some small level of resistance the driver works like a charm. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but I can forsee a situation where in a tight spot where you can't quite reach in to start the screw, that this MIGHT be an issue. Otherwise, a great new innovation....who da thunk? Eric

a phillips screwdriver I think is what i used. So far it is holding up and right now I have an 8lb electric fan on oscillating on it.

Screw driver tip on file blade. If it doesn't have SD, the file will be blade shaped with no flat head screw driver tip.

the magnet tip is not strong enough to damage any electrical devices or cause EMI. it is only strong enough to hold a very small screw like those on an iphone.

They are solid. The only problem I've had with these is when I was gigging with them, I've lost the plastic revet that holds the top rubber part on. I replaced it with a screw and it was fine. I have 6 of them in my studio and have never had a problem with them. Good design for the price.

We've had this for a few months and it's been fine. The only way I see anything cracking is if you torque the screws too tight to damage the mount points or after some years of varying degrees of temperature, which would be normal wear and tear. The other one we had like this was 9 years old before we recently replaced it.

Well mine also broke when my wife used it on a heavy duty screw. I would suggest you limit its usage on it capacity.

I haven't broken a single tip since I purchased them 3 months ago and I use them almost everyday. I do sharpen them up every once in a while if I'm detailing.

No would be my answer, but please elaborate on "issues" so I can be more specific. I have had this tool for about 6 months, and love it. It drives screws just fine, in and out, and put 1 1/2" x 5/16" lag bolts into 2x material using a socket adapter, no problem. It is possible to break drywall screws, so be careful on the trigger in hard material.

They're quite durable. I purchased this set in September of last year and I have used it on multiple cell phones and laptops. The #000 Phillips screwdriver I have used the most and I took a picture with a macro lens to show you how well it's held up. http://i.imgur.com/H4MrxbR.jpgHope this helps

First, this not an impact driver. It is a light duty screwdriver for use on screws less than 2-1/2" long. I wanted this for Christmas for very light duty work and I think it will be fine. I checked the tool, the box it came in and the owners manual. Hardly any specifications are given. My comments pertain to the B&D; BDCS801 8volt screwdriver.

I don't own this model but I do know that the cheaper models will break if too much torque is applied. As in driving long screws.

haven't had any problems, they just kinda fall out if you unscrew them out far enough. Since the magnet doesn't hold them attached to the screwdriver I usually either catch them in my hand or pick them up off the floor. It's a good screwdriver, but yeah, I do wish they were truly magnetized and hold on to the stupid screw. hope that helps.

hmm, just went and checked it out. There have been times when I thought it did, and then lots of times where it failed the test. too weird, the butt end has enough to pull a screw across the table, so it does hold itself in the screwdriver, which it doesn't need, it's anchored very well. The working tip that would hold the screw in place also has it but it's so weak it's just about worthless. every once in a while it kinda seemed to attract the screw, but not really, I'd consider it pointless.hope that helps. still a great tool, yeah, I wish it had a stronger tip magnet.

At the most basic level, you only need a phillips screw driver. However, I would highly recommend using a drill with a phillips head so you don't have to manually tighten all 64 screw.Hope that helps.Floyd Helm, President;G.E. Lumber, LLC

Do it on a clear head, no rushing, keep good track of your screws and you will be ok. Youtube videos online did it for me...I would advise magnetic screwdriver set. I did mine in 30 minutes...first time ever.
