I found this a interesting read.

I have a few screwdrivers/screwturners of different sizes that I use as chisels. I also have a nice assortment of chisels of different sizes and shapes as I'm always on the lookout for older chisels and odd shaped ones.

I have had the plastic handles break on many screwdrivers, but most times they just split and it might take awhile before the handle breaks as I'm not using much force most times. I use the smaller cheap ones when I have a chore where the screwdriver is a better choice.

I also have a selection of the screwdrivers with the shank running all the way through so you are hitting the metal on the end of the handle. Those have mostly clear green handles that have not broken in the many years that I have been using them. They are not top quality, but they are older and better made when new. I have medium and large of these with both types of tips. The main reason I use them is that the tips are wore and rounded and some times that is what works best for the chore.

and REMEMBER to wear safety glasses when you are hitting, grinding and such as "things gone wrong" can happen out of the blue.
