What for? limit screws are the only thing on my bike with which would need one, and you only touch those once really.

That said, Wera are very good.

I'm happy with the halfords ones. Seem pretty good, like most of their pro/advanced tools

Don't forget you absolutely have to get a JIS screwdriver, too

EDIT, for £6 the halfords ones a steel, especially as you'll hardly use them on a bike

Cant go far wrong with Wera for standard screwdrivers.

The dedicated JIS limit screw jobbie from Park is a lovely lovely thing though.

pozidrive or phillips

Certainly not pozidrive. Philips will do if you can't get the mythical JIS (or a flat head of course)

Little known fact.... a lot of Shimano screws are JIS not Phillips/Pozi. Most of the time a phillips will work but a specific JIS screwdriver just works more betterer!!

Edit ^^^ too slow!

I bought the Halfords Pro screwdrivers years ago off the back of a Practical Classics shoot out and they have e great for the money. The testing was fairly comprehensive and would be more than adequate for any bike work.

Wera use them at work and for the money they are great value.

The only thing you really need is a JIS isn't it but i don't see that you need a set of 3?

is this one the right size?
