Best screwdrivers for guns

[superslomo]

What have you guys found is the best kit for guns? Many brands out there. Not looking to buy stock in some brand screwdrivers either. What do you all think?

Not sure if its the best. But I have no complaints with the Wheeler 89 pc set. About 90 bucks

Likely more than you’ll ever use. No idea what you consider expensive but the right tool saves you money in the long run. https://www.amazon.com/Wheeler-Engineering-Gunsmithing-Screwdriver-Construction/dp/B07NDFW974

I like the Forster brand hollow ground screwdriver set,
Gunsmith Screwdriver Set

A gunsmith recommended Chapman to me one time, I've had a small set for probably 30 plus years that has suited my limited needs. You CAN break them, but won't if you use them properly.

This is the manufacturers website, you can probably find them a little cheaper on Amazon

Make sure they are hollow ground. Wheeler makes a few basic good sets. The first thing I look at on a used gun are the screws If the screw heads are buggered up, that's huge indication bubba was in there.

Brownells has some high quality screw driver sets. I got the basic set in 83'. Still using them.

Chapman is the bees knees. I read somewhere that they make all the Brownells bits too and that probably explains why the Brownells are so well liked. Pricey, made out of tool steel, machined, made in USA. I'll pay some extra for that.

Forster and Grace. And a Wheeler kit.

BEST, buy quality screwdrivers and grind them yourself. 2nd best is a set of quality gunsmith's screwdrivers and find the best one for your particular gun or even just a single screw. Around 3rd best, get a set from Wheeler's and use the best fit from that set... Flat and parallel sides, square but not sharp corners. NO wedges! Not real fond of Phillips head screws, either, though sometimes you can't get away from them.
