Stanley these days are pretty mediocre. Plenty of much better makes. A
set of screwdrivers from Lidl etc is likely to last longer for a

need to go to a decent tool supplier for them.

Well... some of my Stanleys, in fact probably most of them are 30
years old and in fine fettle.

I did say these days.

You needed to buy the Chrome Molydenum ones.

If they make good and poor quality tools under the same brand yet another
reason to avoid.

For any cross head driver you really need a pretty hard surface as they
are near impossible to 'sharpen'. Wera are diamond coated - which also
helps them to grip.
