I have a set of Bergeon ($108.00) screwdrivers. I don't like the quality of them. The set screws come loose and then get bungled up from the constant tightening of them and the blades are expensive. I like the double bladed collet type where you just turn the blade around and re tighten the collet. What is your idea of a preferred screwdriver? Armway made a beautiful set but I can't find them on the internet. Patrick | ||

The set screw Bergeon was all I used because that was all I had. Most important, I kept them sharp, and I used Blued Steel blades that I bought from another supplier because they cost about 1/5 as much and held their "tip" longer than the softer Bergeon blades. | |||

I still have my Bergeon set from 20 years ago. I never bought their replacement blades, instead I got the correct gauges of steel wire and just made my own. I've never had any issue with the set screws. William | |||

Well, maybe Ill just use a little Lock tight on them. I tried to find some allen head set screws but couldn't find a match. Thanks for the help. David, where did you get the blued blades? | |||

If you want to, you can buy genuine replacement screws. e.g., http://www.ofrei.com/page239.html. I expect that other suppliers can source them, even if they don't list the screws on their website. | ||||
