nice bitof kit there/, mjyThis set is usually a pretty good start with Wera - 15 blades (inc PZ/S) & 2 handles for £40 odd.
Of course Amazon price is fairly high today.

I think the Wickes jobbiesI've got a "Wickes Professional" branded screwdriver that's great for plate screws/terminals... I've been using it for years and years... and still going strong. I think I grabbed it quick somewhere as I was without the van/tools and someone needed something fixed.
I find a cheapo PH2 works very well for making holes for 6mm plugs in plasterboard ceilings...The only real issue I have found with the cheapo £5-10 vde sets is the pozi2 tip tends to round off very quickly. the flat heads seem to last a bit longer. But for a fiver what do you really expect
I use my impact driver for that, fitted with whatever was used last.I find a cheapo PH2 works very well for making holes for 6mm plugs in plasterboard ceilings...
I think I have tried most brands of vde screwdrivers and never really had a favourite , I think the only big name brand that I haven't had a set of is Facom
Only recently .Only recently learned that Facom is a Stanley Black and Decker brand. Not sure why, but this surprised me.
I might be wrong but I was told Draper is also a stanley brand as wellOnly recently learned that Facom is a Stanley Black and Decker brand. Not sure why, but this surprised me.

mine still have the security tags on them. (Scouse humour again ).My favourite (work) trousers are rather appropriately branded 'Scruffs' ?
Comfort combined with reasonable prices.
I don't think they should include a neon screwdriver and call it a voltage tester as well.I dont think they should advertise that they "allow you to work on live parts up to 1,000v"
Thats just going to give Joe Public false confidence in DIY electrics
why not. every other maker includes one. wiha, wera, draper et al.I don't think they should include a neon screwdriver and call it a voltage tester as well.
I have my set I started college with, moved on to Wera but they still get use at home.set in LIdl's . stupidly cheap. maybe not the best quality but as a starter for an apprentice, no brainer.
having said that, i bought a set 5 years ago, £6.99 for 6 or 7. been used and abused but still in decent shape.
