Nearly all the interchangable bit screwdrivers have parallel sided flat heads and theres pretty decent sets out there from just a fiver.

Just be aware that Winchester set has imperial hex bits, not metric - so only really relevant to US guns

Not worried about the hex bits as have a set of those from work, it's the others I want.

I have this and I'm pretty certain that these are the same as Amazon/Winchester but with metric hex keys.

Also similar, but with longer reach hex and torx keys, I have this also.

It's not the same

Also with the magnusson set I can only see maybe two flat head bits? And they look small

I have got quite a bit of wheeler stuff (punch kits and scope mounting kits) and its excellent quality for the price

A link to the actual Winchester in question would be handy? The only Amazon one I am seeing, when I search, is similar to my Wilco link.

The Magnusson one does has four short reach flat bits, 3-4-5-6 mm and a long reach 5.5 mm

To be honest, the Wilco one does everything, I only got the B&Q one for the long reach bits.

Did you not read my post the link is there, just copy and paste, for some reason it's not just letting you click directly, not much more effort tho eh? It shows the longer screwdriver out of the set.
When I Google the winchester set it doesn't come up with Wilco at all. Here's the set on Amazon
