I bought the Wera set 48 quid with 17 pieces in loads of useful screwdrivers 4 different cab keys and the slotted pozzi type for mcb,s,gonna replace the neon with a voltstick though.
 
was split between the wera and the wiha. both around same price, bit i prefer the feel of the wiha handle. the slim bits will take some getting used to though.

The water had seeped into the device and shorted out the resistor.a neon screwdriver tells you if there is a voltage realtive to your body .In theory they shouldn't work if you're up a wooden ladder with rubber shoes.

For the small amount of current required to run a neon, I suspect that the capacitive coupling between your body and the ground is sufficient.
