I'm looking to get a screwdriver and bit set that will deal with any and
all types of screw fitting, including those tiny types of Torx and star
fitting that you don't get with the pound shop bits, which do have Torx
and star, but not the smaller sizes. Aimed at opening things inside
computer cases and electronics cases than anything else. Useful if can
get mini socket heads with it too. Probably 50-60 different heads
total.


Snag is all the ones I've seen are based on a 1/4" hex drive system which
means the shank is too big to allow access to deeply recessed smaller
screws.


Heh, I've cut a slot in the rear end of the bits before so they'll take a
conventional slotted screwdriver with a long shaft. So long as the
screwdriver's magnetised, the bit comes out happily with the
screwdriver...

(it was that or I was finding places were charging ten quid or more for
long-shaft drivers which had the more oddball tips to them)
