  • Looking for another Xmas gift.

    This time someone moving into their first place. They've been fairly nomadic, so I was thinking one of those Screwfix tool sets, but they don't do it anymore and the Magnason(sp?) is over budget.

    Other than that wicked little Bhaco (sp?) ratchet set, is there a decent Screwdriver with multiple bits in the £20 range?

    Like a budget Wera 073240 Kraftform Kompakt

  • There is a regular Wera screwdriver that presents a 1/4" hex for small bit usage, costs about a tenner, then get one of the mad little 1/4" drive socket, driver, hex, torx kits that comes with the worlds best creation, a 1/4" hex mini ratchet wrench. Total cost around £35. Check your local private hardware shops, they often carry Wera. Some bike shops can now get Wera at decent prices too thanks to Chicken opening an account with them.
    I have one of the mini wera kits like above in the car, not gonna help if you shear off a spring and need to drive out 19-21mm bolts, but is going to help for annoying niggly things, trim, electronics, engine covers, kid seat brackets etc.

  • Cheers. In particular for helping me find out that what I'm looking for is a Bitholding Screwdriver.
