Looking for a precision screwdriver set. One with Hex, Phillips, Standard, Torx. From very small, say Square #1 and Torx #4 on up.
It would be nice if it had a ratcheting screwdriver as well. Looking form something pretty good quality, to last a long time. I have a set from Husky, but doesn’t go small enough and kinda cheapo.
This is mainly for pocket knife repair, or things like eye glasses, watches, electronics etc…
I have this set. Its a fantastic set for small electronics, phones, tablets, etc. it was the only set I found that had the torx for a kindle.

Not one of the most economical options but the Wiha 65 esd micro kit is a strong option

Wera for the win!
I have a set that I use a lot. Works well for watches and changing batteries in car keys etc.

Ive got it too, awesome set and really well priced.
I use one of these at work, really nice set, has some fairly tiny drivers. Titan 16092 Precision Ratcheting Screwdriver
I use a couple of Husky sets at home, both were around $6. They have a Torx set and a Philips-Screwdriver-Set. I use these on my knives, computer stuff like hard drives, and anything else that requires smaller drivers, and I like them a lot.
If you are going to use them a lot; Wiha, Felo or Wera.

Add me to the Wera list. Great set.
Wiha is a great choice. They won’t break the bank & stand up to heavy use. I have both ESD & regular drivers. I doubt you’ll need ESD so save your $$. Everywhere I’ve worked use Wiha on the assembly lines.
I have two sets of Felo, this is a good place to show off my new precision screwdriver cigar box for the home(inside) workbench:

Very nice!
If the price is not important, then I definitely recommend the iFixit Pro Tech 87 in 1 Toolkit.
S2 steel bits and a lot of auxiliary tools for repairing small items — that’s a good point.
If you do not want to overpay, then you should look at the set from Royace. It’s 119 in 1 screwdriver kit has vast array of CR-V bits and ratchet screwdriver.
New Wiha ones are a bit risky, as they might be manufactured in Vietnam and not Germany anymore, It does not look like Felo makes their products outside Germany and some in US, so Felo is more trustable. I think we should not expect to see German made screwdrivers and screwdriver bits by 2025 at all as Germans see these as very basic products for German industry and it does not make the money they expect 🙂
