chrishawley Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Can anyone advise how/where to get a good quality set of hammer-through screwdrivers? Not that I like hammering screwdrivers but necessary now and again, and the hex end is handy where spanner assistance is required. Purchased a spare set about a year ago and not that cheap. But on opening were just chinky crap.The shaft of the screwdriver(s) wasn't even bonded into the handle and as for the 'thru' bit there wasn't any, just a faux hex capping on the end which would happily spin on its own. It was a case of the non-hammer through non screwdriver set. What I want is a PROPER hammer through screwdriver set where there shaft goes right through the handle and terminates in a hex which is actually a part of the shaft. Don't mind paying decent money for the proper thing. Ideas? Cheers C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean they are of poor quality and you will need two so as to have 1 complete good set OR they are so good you'll want to give one to a friend . . .😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 tis a decent pozi2 or 3 you need to whack when aligning holes that wont align without some persuasion a impact driver is too short for that , i have an old stanley blue pozi 2 ground with a spike works wonders in the fight Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I have a couple of Teng hammer through screwdrivers. The slotted one is showing its 25 year age a bit (rather abused) but reckon a tough with teh bench grinder will see it sorted again. No idea on price, but think they are very good.

Ian Smith Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) I still have my Kamasa knock-through screwdriver from the 1970's. Still going strong, but a bit 'well used'... Edit: have a look for kamasa 'go-through' screwdrivers. Some on 'Bay at the moment. ian. Edited November 20, 2021 by Ian Smith Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark powell Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 No hex at the handle end, but Wickes do a knock through screwdriver. I have just bought one to replace my previous one, lost on site... Hexagon shaft sometimes helps. https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-10mm-Soft-Grip-Slotted-Screwdriver---250mm/p/167307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishawley Posted November 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Joy! Old stock Kamasa hammer-throughs on eBay with translucent handles so one can actually see that the shaft goes all the way through. No hex end but are hex shaft so that's great. Bought. And thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
