Same screwdriver set deal that I posted before, but the mods seem to have removed. This time, I found that company's web site, they're a performance parts shop out of Ohio, and they seem to have been around for a while. Though, I admit, I hadn't heard of them before seeing the front-page ebay deal that flashed by yesterday.

Hope that this helps someone.

Edit: The thing that caught my eye, and the reason I bought these, is because of the magnetic tips. I figured that these would be useful for working on PCs.

Edit: I do admit, they look kind of like dollar-store cheap. They don't look like a Craftsman, that's for sure. Not priced like one either.

JEGS is a very large and well known parts supplier.

I'm glad someone has heard of them. Are you from the mid-west, by any chance? I'm just guessing, but I would think that they would be more popular out there.

we used to stock car and drag race. they advertise at all the large races and shows and such.

I haven't used them but I bet they'll be solid. Not pro, but fine for home use.
I'm in the same town as Jegs. Family owned; a drag racer that opened a speed shop. Yep, they're big here, but they're a national deal.
Think Krogers house brand food. Generally decent, maybe not as tasty as the top shelf stuff, but decent.

Looks like a rebadged set of Stanley screwdrivers. Great for around the house. I know someone who could use this set. Thanks

Well, I got my three sets of screwdrivers today. Pulled a couple of appropriately-sized Phillips-head screwdrivers out of the set, for PC work. Used one today, the magnetic tip is better than the one I have been using the last few years; I got my previous set at Microcenter in a small case for cheap money.

Edit: Btw, they sent me some "JEGS" stickersdecals, for a vehicle, maybe, or a toolbox, and a glossy catalog, and a newsprint catalog supplement. Seems like they're a decent-sized outfit, I figure around the size of TigerDirect, maybe. (Only, hopefully with better customer service, their catalog says "24/7 tech support".)

JEGS and Summit are the two big guys for generic race parts etc.

Back when I had my thirgen Firebird Summit was my go to source for parts. Jegs was good too and they got a fair share of my money. haha This set looks good even if it's just a rebaged one and Jegs is a good company to deal with.
