I did have one driver that was brandnew first screw, it shattered the square drive and broke off. One phone call to Sachy,s told them quickly what had happened and a new one was there the next day. Sachy's/Robertson forever.

Wow, I'll have a look at Sachy's site. Do you guys have GFB driver bits in Oz? whats your opinion on them?

Sorry plino, what is a GFB bit? I may be being thick but don't recall that name/term?

Hi Claw

It is a company that produces a very comprehensive range of very good quality driver bits, chuck keys, countersinking bits etc

Personally I think they are better than ABW and a number of the others.

We also have a number cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers, joiners and billiard table manufacturers who kick up a fuss if we supply anything else.

Thanks Ray, I must investigate.

ha ha,

I too have never had a problem with the Sachy screwdriver I have, even though I have used it at quite sharp angles sometimes.

I'm very pleased with their drives and screws, I will continue to use them.
