I am wanting to buy a good set of screwdrivers and was wondering what y'all recommend.

Any help would be appreciated. Reasonbly priced.

Actually, the 3 preceding posts are wrong.....................

Brownell's makes THE BEST gunsmith screwdrivers, period, hands down, game over.

But... You asked for a "good set"...

Buy Brownell's, and get a set that will last you a lifetime. You and your fine firearms deserve it.

I asked for and got a Wheeler's Engineering set for Christmas a few years ago, and I'm disappointed in the quality. One of the screwdrivers was missing the magnetic insert, and some of the bits were misformed. One of the bits, a smaller, thinner one, is bending with use. While I still use it from time to time, I've pretty much gone back to the Brownell's kit I've had for almost 20 years. Those bits are all still fine. No complaints with this set. Another alternative is the Lyman screwdriver that stores the bits in its hollow handle. This one is clear with an orange screw on cap. It doesn't have an extensive array of bits, but it's good quality and it sells for about $9.99.

I've used the Brownell's magnatips for years. They're great. I once owned a set of Chapman screwdrivers, but they were far too brittle.

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Brownells, for the screwdrivers and many other tools as well. All good stuff.
