Get this excellent screwdriver at a deep discount

We bought a set as a gift for a relative with the ulterior motive of borrowing them and trying them for a while, and I agree. Wera are very well-made, but the idiosyncratic handles just didn’t work for me.

Around 30 years ago the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago had a special exhibit on ergonomics, with a clever/useful screwdriver test (you could see how hard you could turn several different comparably-sized screwdrivers). The Bahco screwdriver was miles better than any of the competitors, and a few years later we bought a set. They no longer make that model; we also have the newer version, which has some embedded rubber dots in the handle, but prefer the original. I’ve not since found a screwdriver that comes even close for feel in the hand.

Like an idiot I just went searching for photos of the two, then realized that I could just snap a pic myself (albeit with poor quality, as all I have handy is an ancient phone):
