Excellent! I thought I might have to move away from the $5 realm up to one of the $17-30 sets. I think I saw the 47823 set in the local store recently but that was before the current set started losing tips, so it didn't dawn on me to buy them. The tips in my current metal set start to loosen in the barrels so they slip upon encountering any kind of tightness in screws. I like the concept of the torqueier bodies of the 47823's rubberized plastic, too.
I have to meet a client in Medford next week and will swing by the HF store while there. Thanks!
