about us
- Felo Werkzeugfabrik was founded as “Hammermuehle” in Thüringen, Germany. Today it is one of the leading specialists for quality tools. Already successful in exports, Felo used catalogues in four languages in the thirties and applied for the first international patents. Due to the effects of the second World War, the founding family had no other chance than leave Germany. They fled over the boarder to Hesse and shortly thereafter the production began in Neustadt under the FELO brand in 1950.
- The company grew from humble beginnings with two employees, a a typewriter and a customer file to an internationally working company with over 220 employees in Germany and Hungary. Today in its fifth generation, Felo Felo is the largest employer supplying Neustadt's customers in Germany and in more than 40 export markets.

I’m a hospital maintenance & repairman, so I use screwdrivers everyday. I’ve gotten fairly picky about them, since mediocre tools end up costing time & money. These are my favorite workbench screwdrivers.
Off the bat, some good screwdriver brands I recommend are Apex, Proto, Wera, Wiha, Zephyr, Felo, Grace, PB Swiss & Williams/Snap On.
These wood handled Felo’s are among my favorites. The Germans know how to make tools.
Pros:
• overall quality is excellent, especially taking into account the price. Fit & Finish isn’t perfect, but it’s really good, & way better than what I’d expect at this price. The old school build style reminds me of my grandpop’s tools, but the handle shape is very modern.
• w/ li-ion impact wrenches, it may not be needed, but the fill-tang shank, leather butt cap & machined hex bolsters make these good at removing seized fasteners. Give ‘em a good whack on the backside and crank ‘em w/ a wrench, the way they did it for a couple generations.
• Quality is the steel & fit of the tips is terrific. The Phillips fit is among the best I’ve used & they show no signs of wear even after hard use. The tips aren’t played, which is a huge plus. Just keep them lightly oiled.
•The handle shape, (this is the newer design,) is wonderful, it’s similar to Wera, but prefer these as on the larger handles, the diameter is more manageable. AND THEY DON’T ROLL! (Why is this still a thing companies miss?!)
• when oily, greasy or wet, wooden handles don’t get nearly as slippery as plastic & rubber. And unlike rubber, these don’t wear out, get sticky or attract dust. But to take advantage of this, you’re gonna have to strip or sand the factory finish.
Cons:
• I’d prefer the slotted tips to be hollow ground for fit, but some users prefer the more traditional tapered design for speed. Felo’s 1/4” slotted bits are beautifully hollow ground, (as are most of the German / Czech brands.) if you want wood handled, hollow-ground drivers, you probably should look at Grace.
• Not a bit deal, but there’s too much varnish / lacquer on the handles. I don’t think it’s a polyurethane, & it comes off quickly w/ some medium grit sandpaper. You can then further shape the handle to fit your hand. I prefer Tru-Oil finish, but any decent BLO-based finish will protect the wood & improve gripping purchase.
• probably not feasible, but it’d be nice if there was only 1 or 2 wrench sizes needed to use the machined bolsters for leveraged. I wouldn’t use an adjustable on these, but a smaller Pliers Wrench works.
• if I’m being extremely picky, some of the shafts aren’t flush with the butt caps on the handle. A little work w/ a file or sandpaper corrects this. For the price, its not a fair complaint.
• again, being overly picky, the bead blasted finish is more likely to allow corrosion. A few minutes w/ some polishing pads solved that.
• Here’s my biggest complaint; there’s no #3 Phillips in this set, and Felo doesn’t offer many additional options. I’d love to see some Robertson, (square,) Torx, Hex & Hollow-Ground options.
Conclusion:
For the price, you can’t get better quality. It’d be tough to find better at double this price. If you’re really picky, expect to work on them for about an hour, removing the factory finish, applying an oil finish, polishing the shafts and grinding down a butt cap or 2 so the shank is flush.
You probably will want to get a Phillips #3, so factor that into the price. But even with all that considered, these will probably be your favorite screwdrivers, and will become heirlooms.
The ergonomics are near perfect for a manual screwdriver. When compared to my Wera Kraftform Kompakt 27 RA (Highly recommended ratcheting screwdriver) the feel is certainly a bit different, but I think their respective handle shapes are appropriate for how they are both used. I find both comfortable to use over all, but the largest flathead in this Felo set takes the cake for best feeling.
I was hoping to receive the polished chrome variant of this set, but I read in a question response here on Amazon that the shiny chrome is being/ has been phased out in favor of the satin chrome finish. Wish the shiny chrome would come back!
If you do not plan on sanding off the finish on the handles entirely, I highly recommend taking 5-10 minutes and going over these with a piece of 000 steel wool for the handles, just smoothing out any minor roughness in the finish. Using 000 or 0000 steel wool on the satin chrome also enhanced feel and aesthetics in my opinion. To me, this took the tool from a 4.5/5 to a 5/5.
I like many others first heard about these on AvE's youtube channel and quickly added them to my wishlist, waiting for the day they would drop a couple bucks in price. Over all, very glad I purchased these. I may have to pick up the #3 phillips at some point as well!

These are very well made.
The metal is well machined and finished. There are no rounded edges or burrs. The chrome finish has been evenly played and sandblasted. The metal ferrules are left with a high polish.
The wood is a nice blonde beech and is lacquered. I will be removing the lacquer and replacing it with linseed oil. Furthermore, I will likely use 80 grit sandpaper backed with a file to give it some more grip.
The shape is like a faceted come bottle. It’s very comfortable in the hands. The only thing I don’t like about the handles, besides the lacquer that I knew about, is the tool marks on the wood. It has horizontal striations as if it was shaped with a ball mill. I have a axe handle that came like this too. It’s not terrible and some people may not notice it. I however will be smoothing those out too.
A couple of things to note that make these screwdriver late even more special. The hex shop at the top of the shank is very well machined and will keep the wrench from slipping off and rounding the edges. Secondly the shank goes all the way through the handle. While nice itself, the shank sits about 40 thou/1mm prions of the leather cap. It’s barely noticeable but it allows metal to metal contact when tapping with a hammer. A nice touch.
Overall an excellent set of screwdrivers. Would highly recommend. In fact I bought a set for my dad for Christmas.
