Mine is Magna Tip Super Set - 080-112-081WB - 58 Bit Master Set Plus w/ #81 Handle.
Think it cost £12 7/- 6d at the time.

Most good gun shops sell these or something similar like the Lyman kit. Well worth the little outlay that they are.dromia wrote:I bought a Brownells set of screw drivers and bits years ago and it was one of the single best purchases I have made, screws are a bugger and a good fitting driver is essential.
I have added a few Chapman sets as well as I find the ratchet handy for screwing things in as I can only get a couple of turns the normal way before the arthritis starts playing up.

I got totally pi$$ed off with my missus taking screwdrivers and other tools and never putting them back and me having to go hunting for them and her saying she put them back when she clearly didn't. These days my tools are all kept locked away and if she wants something she has to wait until I'm there and ask and then return it as soon as she's finished with it.
Now that might sound real anal on my part but after something like 30+ years of the same $h1t year after year, something had to be done to keep my tools where I could find them when I needed them and without going hunting for them.

+1 for the Magna Tip Superset though these days they're a lot more expensive compared to when I bought mine.

I make a set of 1/4" bits to match each gun.
Buy a high quality handle and a range of bits and file them to fit the screws exactly, then keep the bits just for that one job.
In past times quality guns were delivered with the correct turn-screws for maintainance made in such a manner. Visit a traditional gunsmith and the back of the bench holds a universe of screwdrivers.
