Comments on a Good Set of Screwdrivers????

[Lostinfrance2014]

Have just stuffed up a super thight Face Plate (Screw Heads) & (Paint) on the faceplate all due to the screwdriver I am using.

Have a set of (Sidchrome) screwdrivers, I have had no real issues on heads that are not (In-Tight) but of late some of the 2nd hand reels I have are subject to some sea spray so they rust up a little.

For some reason, here in Europe, a lot of Screwdrivers are just JUNK with a Capital (J), they bend on the tips or even just break 1/2 the tip of the driver, so now looking for a TOP Quality set.

Now I have just returned from the Man-Shed in the back yard, and dug a hole and BURRIED the bloody driver that nearly also took my other hand finger with it.

Lucky I have a replacement Faceplate, but had it with JUNK drivers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The screwdrivers I like best for most reels are old advertising screwdrivers like hardware stores used
to give away.
Not the easiest to find

Forester makes a good quality set of gun smith screw drivers but there are many choices of brands. see Brownells @http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools ... d6634.aspx
or Midway USA @ http://www.midwayusa.com/find?userSearc ... rewdrivers

I use those too. Most of mine have names of bars and taverns though.

Some of mine may too. I started out with one or two old ones. I think one was my dads. Bought a couple on e-bay then a friend found out I liked them and bought some at estate sales for me. Could be almost as bad as collecting reels but cost is considerably less.

cost is considerably less

And they don't take up as much room either.
