[#11101403]

Any recommendations for a micro/mini screw driver set?
I had one of those cheapo sets but I can't seem t track that down now so looking for something with a bit better quality. Some flat heads and some posi/philips heads to cover most eventualities.
I've seen Wera do some sets but anything else I should be considering?

I've had a Halfords Advanced set for several years now and I'd recommend that one, single handle with a range of heads that slot in. Flat, Philips and Torx.

I have this one and it seems pretty good quality (better than a couple of other sets I've tried in the past anyway):

Says unavailable now but this looks pretty much identical...

@spud
got a link to it? Couldn't find it on their site! Generally rate the HA stuff.

If by "micro" you mean jewellers screwdrivers I have some excellent Bergeon ones which have good quality replaceable tips (nothing lasts for ever) which I bought for adjusting my oboe. A bit spendy at around £10 each but as mum used to say "they'll see me out".

'Adjusting my oboe' deserves to become a euphemism for something criminally vulgar.

Especially if it's said in a Kenneth Williams style voice.

@Spud
thanks, that looks perfect, I'm sure there's a good reason why it doesn't appear when I searched for hand tools -> screwsdrivers -> Halfords advanced 😂

My oboe may well keep me sane in the coming weeks when we are all cooped up indoors. Could drive the neighbours mad though.

If you crack out your oboe, I'll dig out my bassoon.

Great stuff. Mrs. Slow plays bassoon too, we can have a trio of sorts.
