Use at your own risk
This set is advertised for use on S&W revolvers. They are the correct sizes, but they are NOT hollow ground as they should be. I have disassembled several S&W revolvers with a Chinese made Winchester labeled set of drivers with no damage. This set from Brownell's damaged the screws on a Model 10 the first time I used them. DO NOT under any circumstances use these on your expensive Model 27"s, etc. Chuck
