It has been several years since I’ve mentioned Williams’ hard-handle screwdrivers, and about a decade since I purchased a set of them. These aren’t my favorite screwdrivers, but I do enjoy using them, and they’re quite different from most of the other screwdrivers I typically reach for more frequently. A 7pc set of Snap-on hard-handle screwdrivers, with Phillips and slotted tips, is currently $200 via their website. That comes out to around $28.57 per screwdriver.

I bought more Rayovac batteries the following year, and more again the year after that. Almost every year now, I buy multi-packs or bulk packs of Rayovac batteries. They are made in the USA and had decent pricing. I like using rechargeable batteries in some devices, but don’t really want to put pricey NiMH cells in kids toys. Rayovac’s disposable alkaline batteries worked well enough at good pricing, or...
