    Any set of well fitting screwdrivers will do. The important thing is to get a decent set in the common head sizes (Philips rather than pozi most usually). I got an admittedly cheap set of screwdrivers from Screwfix and they have held up well, if I had cash to splash I would of course get something better.

    Take a look on ukworkshop forums, lots of cabinet makers and tool enthusiasts, a quick search will put you in the right direction.

    Those are The Ones To Get ..

    ' And, the ideal parallel section is ground at the tip to fit the screw slot properly through the full width and depth of the slot. This is what keeps you from buggering screws - a blade tip that evenly distributes the turning torque applied at the handle to the full width and depth of the screw slot.'

    With Rancid turnscrews pretty easy to make better than anything available having tried many of the so called ultimate from around the world inc US.

    Pachmayer are soft as with most of above listed, fine for diy, pro forget it. Will spend more time filing them up than using.
