I tend to use those 50mm bits anyway. Shorter ones don't fit inside

Wickes do packs of 15 for about £4? They also do 3 x titanium for
£3 maybe they would be best.


The Wiha and Wera ones sold by Screwfix and others are well worth the
extra. In terms of screws/£ almost certainly less expensive than the
cheap bulk ones.


I've used the Wiha ones and been very disapointed - they shattered in use.
They seem very brittle. The plain steel ones are much better value for
money. At £2:49 each the Wiha don't last anything like as long as 25
cheapos from Wickes @ £3:99.


Which screws types and manufacturer are you using?
