I think perhaps part of my reluctance is because I'm a bit of a
perfectionist. I like good, accurate tools and I'm not sure that I can
make a screwdriver of that standard. Good screwdrivers are really nice
to use. The way they snugly fit screw heads is satisfying.


Somebody else (most likely several) mentioned it already,
but try using small hex keys (Allen wrenches). They are
relatively inexpensive, hard and tough. If you grind/cut the
90 degree turn out of them a nice Pin Vice will hold them as
a handle. Being hex shaped they shouldn't slip in the Pin
Vice.

Don't worry about perfection, make something that will work
and get the job done. That will be satisfying enough

You might be right. I have got very keen on perfect projects and tools
lately. Some of the things I used to make were pretty crude, but I've
changed.

The Chapman screwdrivers also will hold Hex bits
