When putting together a set of high-end, specialized electrical tools, it's easy to forget something simple like a basic screwdriver. For any DIY electrical project, you're bound to need a screwdriver when putting something together, whether that's assembling a case, removing an outlet cover or other part to access wiring, etc. The Pittsburgh Cushion Grip Screwdriver Set is one of the best deals under $25 we found at Harbor Freight that's highly reviewed, and it's easy to see why.
Each screwdriver is made from chrome vanadium steel and features a magnetic tip for a firm grip on metal screws. Each screwdriver has a ribbed cushion grip that not only provides a comfortable grip, but also improves control during use. The set includes both slotted and Phillips head screwdrivers in a variety of sizes: 5/16 x 8″, 3/16 x 6″, 3/16 x 4″, 1/4 x 4″, 1/8 x 4″, 1/8 x 2″, 1/4 x 1-1/2″ (slotted), PH0 x 3″, PH1 x 3″, PH2 x 4″, PH2 x 1-1/2″ (Phillips), and a 5/32 x 4″ screw holder.
