Junk. >Brian Trout > I've got a four or five older Craftsman screwdrivers among my extensive and somewhat eclectic working stock. They seem to be good quality, and hold an edge quite well without being brittle. I haven't managed to break them yet and I tend to be pretty hard on screwdrivers. I can't speak for the quality of the current product line. I also have a "big ol'" Snap-on that I found on the highway a few years back. After I hammered it straight again, it proved to be a first rate tool. I haven't been able to hurt it either. Well worth the price too. I'd probably even buy one if it came to that. Incidentally, I have actually bought a few Proto screwdrivers and like them a lot. Alright, I'll confess that I will shamelessly stop and pick up tools and such that I see lying in the road. I've got a Stanley "contractors" hacksaw, an aluminum framing square, a rock hammer, an couple of oil filter wrenches, and odds and ends of screwdrivers, wrenches, and sockets that I obtained this way. I won't, however, pick up those rubber tie downs with the hooks on the end. They obviously don't work or they wouldn't be in on road. Today, I stopped and picked up a very small poor wet shivering opossum I found wandering among the high speed traffic after being separated from Mom during last night's storm. He's currently residing in the bath tub sleeping on a "hot rock" wrapped in old towels. He seems to be of reasonably good quality, but I expect he'll go back outside when he's ready instead of into the shop. That ought to be enough damage for now. Good night all. Ron
