Decent screwdrivers
SumpMagnet:
I have been using my set of these:
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/pro122-10-pce-pro-screwdriver-set/
for years, and they are still as goos when I bought them. They have a hex on the end for the same extra 'tweak' when you need it.

These are good too at this price https://www.toolstation.com/wera-kraftform-comfort-screwdriver-set/p72105 with good tip materials.
Or Bahco, but greater cost.
Me and son like the old Stanley, blue Cross head and red flat blade, pick them up at car boot sales but still really good tools and materials to last as long as they do. Not convenient to wait though, but usually only 50p or £1 each :)

+1 for the Halfords ones. Can't tell from the link but mine have part rubber on the handle grip. Also useful that the are colour coded for flat and cross head.

Either this, or go for two sets: one with ergonomic, skin friendly handles, another with though shafts you can whack with your adjustment tool...

Vessel Megadora
Dogs bollocks IMHO, but not cheap...
Got a 9006PB boxed set from Amazon 2 years ago.
Please beware of the red handled Vessel Impacta ones for sale on fleabay UK.
Had to return mines, they arrived loose in a jiffy bag and were marked 'Japan patent' and they looked and felt Chinese cheapo.
My genuine Vessel ones with non slip green and black handles have semi knurled shafts are marked 'made in Japan'.
Also used Snap On for ages which are top notch, but my colleagues in the trade tell me the quality has gone a wee bit down hill in the last couple of years.
