It's time I purchased a nice set of screwdrivers for the ol' workbench.
I frequently see large collections of 'em at Costco, but I'm wondering
whether I should go someplace like Sears or Home Depot and pick up a
quality set of a well-known brand? Is a screwdriver a screwdriver, or
are there superior products to be had?

I just bought a Stanley multi bit screwdriver at Home Depot. The
screwdriver has bits in the handle. It also has a magnetic tip which
is a must for me. For heavy jobs this would not be the best
selection, but for every day jobs it is perfect. This would be more
of a kitchen drawer tool than a shop tool but I consider it a very
useful tool. The bits also fit the magnetic extension I have for my
battery drill.

Here is the same one at Amazon

Kline, Craftsman and Snap-on are the "real" tools.
