Forster Gunsmith 8-Screwdriver Set – Hollow Ground USA Made

Description

If you've ever buggered a slotted screw with a hardware-store driver, you already know why gunsmiths swear by hollow-ground tips. This Forster set gives you eight of the most-used sizes with square-faced, hollow-ground blades that seat flat against the bottom of the slot instead of camming out like a wedge. That flat contact is the whole point: it spreads torque across the full slot so you're not distorting screw heads, marring bluing, or leaving white metal peeking through the finish on a scope you paid good money for.

What the Forster 8-Screwdriver Set Covers

The set runs sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, and 16, which is a smart spread for real firearm work. The smaller numbers handle plug screws and side plate screws, the middle sizes line up with common scope base and ring screws from makers like Leupold, Weaver, and Redfield, and the larger blades take on guard screws and heavier tasks. It's a range that gets you through most maintenance and mounting jobs without reaching for anything else.

Built the Way Forster Builds Everything

Each driver is single-piece construction, meaning the blade and shank are one solid unit with no interchangeable bits to wiggle loose or slip out mid-turn. They're machined from hardened steel and made in the USA, and the tips are properly ground rather than stamped on a press, which is a big part of why they hold up over years of use. Folks who've owned a set for decades tend to buy the exact same thing again when one finally wanders off.

Storage and Everyday Use

The eight drivers come rolled up in a durable storage pouch you can hang right by your bench for quick grab-and-go access. And while these were designed with the gunsmith in mind, the tight tolerances make them handy for plenty of other precision work around the shop where a slipping driver would ruin your day.
