But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a nice set of wood grips on my revolvers especially Herretts on my Sixes.

My eyes like wood grips but my arthritic hands like rubber.

Mine is the six blade set jbt described in post#18. 6 blades with 5 stored in handle with a longer shank than the one you linked. I can see how a shorter screwdriver could be better though for removing side plate screws. Might give more control. I guide the blade with my left hand to the screw...

The brownells S&W Magna tip kit is perfect for my needs. Hollow ground and nice assortment without breaking the bank. Highly recommend
