REAL screwdrivers always had wooden handles with a metal ferrel right
above the shaft. *Go back to the real thing and they wont stink.

not true the smell of paint may stink to some.

just lay your screwdrivers in the sun for a week, and use them enough
so the box is generally open. wiping down with fantastic or formula
409 may help too. and dont be a wimp, workers using tools shouldnt be
bothered by off odors
