I use Stanley screwdrivers almost exclusively for serious work. There's

Stanley these days are pretty mediocre. Plenty of much better makes. A
set
of screwdrivers from Lidl etc is likely to last longer for a fraction of
the cost. But if you want good stuff, try Wera. But you'll need to go to
a
decent tool supplier for them.

ah, decent tool supplier. I went to my otherwise respected decades
residency, local engineering tool supplier , a couple of years back. A
middle aged bloke on the counter, not teenager. I asked what range of
small
size left hand drill bits they had - he thought I was taking the ****,
like
asking for long stands, golden rivets etc.

( used in drills with reverse action for drilling out and often
releasing,
in the process, seized screws , broken studes etc )

Not the same thing at all, other than having LH thread of sorts. That's what
you use after drilling a hole, but what do you use for say 4mm studs/busted
or seized screws ? - LH drill bits.

Where I used to work there was a full set of LH bits in a case covered in
hazard tape and warning messages.
