I was in search of a #1 ECX Screwdriver and came across this combo set at HD. Maybe not a smoking deal, but the free shipping sealed it for me, usually a $45 minimum for free shipping at HD. The ECX driver is designed to conform to the "combo" Phillips/Flat/Robertson screws found on most electrical devices (switches and outlets), which supposedly offers more torque when tightening down screws. I didn't need the insulated feature per se, but doesn't hurt on a screwdriver I will use exclusively for electrical work.
From HD's product page:

Worth the purchase, but definitely not a deal.

No worries! I think it is cool too, I saw it in a YouTube video talking about common mistakes DIY folks do while wiring outlets. I'm not an electrician, but this is my go to set now for the screws on outlets or switches, however any electricians I have hired go for the slotted (standard) screwdriver or have a combo Klein that can also drive nuts as well.
Anyway, yeah, slickdeals isn't really the place to post "check out this cool tool" but there are groups on Facebook for that. FS isn't a big deal to me when I can walk in or order curbside same day at my local HD.
