Having replaced my dud little electrical screwdriver with the cheapo
MacAlister one from Screwfix I am now searching for the best bit size
for slotted screws which are in light switch and 13A sockets.

Measuring the width they look to be about 7mm.

So do I co for a 7mm bit, or slightly under size with a 6mm bit?

I seem to be awash with Posidrive bits at the moment but not ones for
slotted screws.

I would never use an electric screwdriver on such screws (machine bolts
IMHO).

I'm following the example of our electrician, where the time saved winding
screws in and out of multiple fittings builds up remarkably quickly.

This isn't some massive drill/driver, but a 3.6V one with a torque control.

So far it has worked well for me apart from the bit being too small to
easily centre.
