Decent screwdrivers
Discussion
All my screwdrivers are cheap and utter crap with mangled heads.
I need to buy some decent ones now.
I've spotted these 2 sets.

I've got the Halfords set and they're very good quality at that price.
For car use they're fine, the only snag I find is that they're missing the larger sizes which you might find you need for DIY, especially if you're having to remove old conventional headed large wood screws. But for most jobs and use on a car, they're fine.

If I had to go for one I would go for the Halford one's. That Draper kit has way too much stuff for the money.
In all honestly though both set's are not going to be great.
A quick look on amazon, came up with this.

It's only a few quid more and will be much better quality than the other two. If you don't like Teng there are loads of decent brand sets for not much more than the Hafords and Draper sets.

I've had that set for 8 years now, and am pretty pleased with them, mainly with car use, but also recently DIY. The only two problems are that they have lost their magnetism and they have mangled some cheap screws before as the screwdrivers seem a lot stronger than the screws.In all honestly though both set's are not going to be great.

I'm an industrial electrician so use screwdrivers heavily day in day out, my choice is wera. Screwfix is a good a place as any and often has them on offer. They do various different sets for different purposes, red handled electrical ones, green handled general ones, yellow handled ones that are designed to be hit with hammers and light blue which are stainless steel.
