I’m a big fan of wera and wiha both have great high quality screwdrivers

I’ve recently discovered Vessel ball grip (220 series) screwdrivers. Absolutely my favourite now, especially the ratchet version (only the ball turns, not the whole handle, and the shaft from below the grey ratchet switch can be removed to use it as a stubby ratchet with 1/4 inch hex bits). All Made in Japan and the Philips is actually JIS. They’re great to hold and the ball design allows you to apply a lot of torque when you need it. I suggest trying one out, the P2 is only around $7 USD delivered from Japan on Ebay.
I also have Wiha which are my second choice.
@KC_Tool is a good place to check out. Lots of Quality brands to choose from.
What do you look for in a grip? How will you be using them?
I kinda have a thing for screwdrivers:

I very much agree with your assment of of the Craftsman Extremes. I baught them on a whim because they were on sale and wound up loving them! I am also a big fan of Wiha soft finish, Werra Kraftform and Witte Maxxpro(although not sure if the Witte are worth the higher price tag when compared to the previously mentioned screwdrivers).

Even has PB Swiss, the man knows his screwdrivers 👍👍👍
Carlyle Tools by Napa have the most comfortable grip IMO.
They can be found at your local NAPA store or on Ebay.
I prefer them over my Craftsman professional & my Klein screwdrivers.
