Unlike the 32-piece screwdriver set reviewed earlier which is intended primarily for light-duty work, this full-sized screwdriver set will tackle most projects around the home and even many found in the shop. Argumentatively, this set might suffice for heavy-duty use if one is willing to rely on the "Lifetime Guarantee" to replace screwdrivers with damaged tips.

The cushioned, non-slip grips help add that extra torque sometimes needed for an uncooperative screw, and the magnetic tips are really helpful starting small screws in tight spaces. The screwdrivers are surprisingly good-quality for the price and should even stand up to occasional heavy-duty use. For those requiring a set for sustained heavy-duty, professional-level work, we much prefer one of the Craftsman™ sets costing 5 or 6-times the target price of this set. See why we love Harbor Freight™? We have a couple of Craftsman™ sets, one on a bench and one in our automotive toolbox, and we have several sets of these Harbor Freight™ screwdrivers in other toolboxes and locations throughout our home and shops. This medium-duty set works well with most tasks, but we don't try to tear it up on the heavier work (well, at least not routinely, although I must admit more than once we have used a screwdriver or two from this set successfully on a few really stubborn screws).

Bottom line: Another great value at the target price, this full-sized, 13-piece screwdriver set is suitable for medium-duty work around the shop and will tackle almost any job at home. Buy-it-right for a duplicate set and keep it where you need it.
