Griot's Garage sells a lot of the Wiha tools. I've never used those, but I have always liked the way the Wiha tools looked. They have that sterile Teutonic Fatherland look to them.

One thing that I thought was especially interesting was the ACR's on slotted screwdriver tips:

I've never tried a slotted tip with ACR's. This could be interesting. A hollow-ground ACR slotted tip could be just awesome. I would never use these on my guns for fear of marring the mushy leaded screw stock, but for automotive use these could be very nice indeed.

I just ordered a Wiha catalog. :-)
