I need a recommendation for professional grade gunsmith screwdrivers (Didn't know where else to post this)

[Firewater Forge]

I bought a cheap set of "Winchester" screwdrivers that are woefully lacking in quality. I usually adhere to the adage to "pay once and cry once", but not this time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have a Weaver set that does me well. I was given a Win set and your right about them. The Pachmeyers suck also.

Looks like a fine set. At $170.00 per set it would be a hard sell on the wife.

I have had this set for over a decade maybe two. This is a very nice screwdriver set.

I've been using a set like this for 10 years or so. Can't complain....

Home Depot has it available. Some of the bits look thin enough for gun screws. Was that your experience?

I understand. Yes they have went up since I got mine, but I would not trade mine. Actually wanting to add a couple of the special bits for windage screws. Wheeler and some of those others were not available when I got mine. I have had mine something like 20 years too. It was the Master set when I got it. I think there is one above it now, probably the one eekjellander mentioned.

Forster makes some nice fixed screwdrivers. But the bit sets sure are nice because they fit in a tool box, aka range box.

I haven't found a screw yet that the wheeler set would not fit. Although I'm sure its out there. Amazon, $78.00

Agreed! A Magna-Tip full set is Indispensable for proper gunsmith work!

My set from Brownels has served me well for over 10 years.
