As some of my precision screwdrivers appear to have gone walk about and my old set of jewelers screwdrivers were a bit rubbish. Does anyone have any makes they'd recommend?

For use on IT equipment, go to your local pound shop. There you should be able to get a set of precision bits and screwdriver handle. Give 'em a try, they may be adequate and a quid is not a lot to "speculate" The set I bought several months ago, so far, has worked well.

no I dont really want pound shop drivers, they're likely to be softer than the screws themselves. specifically the problem with my old set other than a few were missing, is that it was very difficult to get any purchase on them as they dont have a handle as such.

These will last a lifetime - well unless you loose them!

The pound shop bit set I have are steel with a 4mm hex shank. I warmed them up on the gas hob and quenched the bits in used engine oil. This case-hardened them, making them much stronger. An old trick!

they are very nice, just not the cheapest but the quality is great.

You may well have improved the hardness by this method depending on the steel they were made from, but you did not case harden them.

I feel a bit of a noob now. I have a full set of wera screwdrivers and afull set of whia bits. Didn't think either did precision screwdrivers! one slight disappointment is that neither of the sets include a PH000. 1st world problem I guess
