Not really a gloat, but...

[John Weber]

I treated myself to a couple Lie-Nielsen screwdrivers. I picked up the stubby chip breaker driver, and the long frog screw sized driver. While not cheap, each feels good in the hand for the given task. The tiger maple handles feel soft and smooth, and provide for good grip. The stubby is fairly light, and the longer driver has nice balance. They are made of stainless and most importantly sized to fit Lie-Nielsen plane parts. They are just a hair big for my Stanleys, but it's very nice to have correct fitting drivers for my Lie-Nielsen planes. I wouldn't mind adding a couple more down the road, but this pair may be the most useful and I am very pleased.

John,
I've looked at those before but didn't pull the trigger. Nice to know that they are as nice as they look.

Roy,

Thanks, the stubby (#4 I think) may be the most useful since I never had a screwdriver that fit the chipbreakers very well. Not necessary, but I do like them.

Mark,

One here and one there won't hurt the budget to bad...
