Screwdriver suggestions

Hi Guys

I know this may be a bit silly but im looking to get some new screwdrivers after mine kept getting borrowed and not coming back, I now have the odd one left.

I don't know what brand quality is like now so I don't really know what to get, I was thinking Stanley or Daper. I need a few but I dont know if i should get a set or buy 2 for now.

I need both the standard and some also Precision one, I'm not looking to spend too much because they don't get used often.

Not sure if allowed to link so google -

Draper 5776 Interchangeable Insulated Screwdrivers (18 Pieces) -

£32 for set with precision and power handles - has ph and pz 0 sizes which come in handy and star bits for appliances

Found quality of these just as good as wera but much cheaper - never snapped or broken except when i put into a drill without clutch set and that was my fault lol

For £30 you can get 2 Wera sets (standard and precision at around £15 each).

Halfords advanced screwdrivers are good for the money, but often on offer when they are much mor reasonably priced (the £20 set is often less than £10).

Stanley are ok if the Fatmax range, but some of the standard Stanley stuff is dire.

I'd avoid any set of 10000 screwdrivers for £10 and just get a quality set of 6 drivers you will use and a seperate precision set.

I'd go for Wera

Another one for Wera but buy a set - I bought one screwdriver a week and cost much more in the end.

In addition to Wera, Wiha are also very good.

Wiha, Wera, Bahco & Facom are all good quality.

Most of my toolbox at work is Wera and it's very good and comfortable in the hand.

I use these which are probably a bit overkill for you if you just want a few posi drives and a few slotted. https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product...aftform-Chiseldriver-Screwdriver-Set-And-Rack

Another vote for Wera

Wera again here, I don't need a full set for work but the ones I have are Wera and have taken a beating.

Lidl are doing the yellow and red insulated screwdriver set for a fiver at the moment. Good quality and great value for money!

Teng, great screwdrivers. Replaced my CK ones that were also decent.

Teng and Facom both make nice screwdrivers, I really like my Teng set.
