Would like to get a good set of medium priced screwdrivers, any suggestions? Just got done doing a search and read many reviews, seems like someone had something negative to say about all of them, even the high dollar ones. Not in the gunsmithing business but would like a set the average shooter would use. Thanks

The problem I keep hearing about even gunsmith screwdriver sets is that no matter how many types of flat head screw driver bits they have you will come across flat heads you do not have the right size for, thats when a grinder and a bigger flat head bit (or 1/4" hex bit you can use like a "blank" bit) come in handy.

Myself I never purchased any gunsmith screwdrivers, I just use what fits or I make my own bit, not too often though. Smile

Brownells sells several different sized kits of interchangeable bit gunsmith screwdrivers.
