While doing a deeper search for Black Friday or Holiday 2018 tool deals I might have missed, I came across a Home Depot listing for this Xceline XPS600 Eronic screwdriver set.
Currently priced at $51.20 at industrial suppliers, this Xcelite 6pc screwdriver set is on sale for $33 at Home Depot, on clearance. A similar Felo set is priced as low as $45.

It looks like these Xcelite Ergonic screwdrivers are made by Felo, with the “Ergonic” branding being the giveaway.
Ergonic screwdrivers have a soft inner core conforms to your hand when exerting torque on the handle. They say that this allows for up to 30% more torque while reducing the chance of slipping. My take? It’s a darned comfortable handle style.
I own numerous Felo screwdrivers, and like them a lot. They’re a step above even the screwdrivers typically found at home centers.
The set comes with 4 slotted and 2 Phillips screwdriver sizes. Phillips #1 x 4″, #2 x 4″, slotted 1/8″ x 4″, 5/32″ x 4″, 3/16″ x 6″, 1/4″ x 4″.
Clearance Price: $33

Wow. Four flats and 2 Phillips.

That’s how most mixed-style 6pc screwdriver sets are.

“In the USA” is missing from your response the Wera equivalent in Europe has Pozidrive.
I really wish Felo would increase their presence here as I like of all their tools I currently have and the bit holder you posted about a while ago would be a welcome addition however it seems they are more focussed on the USA.

just checked – my Wera Chiseldriver 6 piece set is also 4 flat and 2 Phillips – and I’m glad I grabbed the Newark close out pricing (<$15), price appears to be back to normal

The Felo drivers in the amazon link are the newer, heavier duty ones, with a hex profile blade. The Xcelite drivers appear to be based on the earlier Felo ergonic drivers with the round blade, with a large plastic hex lug on the handle.
Both are excellent drivers. For a while, you could get the earlier round-shank ones from Acme for under $25 for the set of six, with a nice little plastic case. I bought a bunch as Christmas gifts.
Thanks for calling this out!

As far as I am (was?) aware, both styles are still “current,” as you can still get the round blade screwdrivers through distributors.

Looks just like the current Sears Craftsman Screwdrivers.
