Default Old metal screwdrivers

I have small kits of all color and they use the black handles that the
nut drivers or screw drivers slip in. All of them black blue yellow....

Might be a polycarbonate or something. My shop is 80% if the outside is.

I've found the plastic in X-lite tends to get oxide or is attacked with

I put them in a basket in my RF sweeping cem tank and some Simple green
or like. In a day they are bright and nice again.

I haven't seen the effect on anything but the x-lite brand. I suspect
a different plastic is used and that makes the difference.


Is this a problem with the black or the fruit colored handles?
