Can anyone recommend a decent quality set of tools/jewellers screwdrivers to tackle the various grub screws etc in an old SLR?

I'm finding some of them are quite tight and was wondering of the generic sets on ebay/amazon might round off very easily - what have you used?

I just took apart a Minolta SLR for a project at school. Didn't have any small screwdrivers so had to get something. I found a Rolson 9 in 1 screwdriver at our local B&M Bargains and was quite pleasantly surprised with it.

Thanks for the suggestions, will look into the Rolson set seeing as there's one not too far.
