Whether you’re just starting to build your tool kit or replacing older, worn-out screwdrivers, buying them in a set is often the most cost-efficient way to do it.
There’s plenty of choice, so check your car for which fasteners are the most common. Kits typically come with a mix of slotted, Phillips, Pozidriv and Torx heads, but some also include a selection of driver bits or hex keys. So which is the set to ensure you have the right tool for the job? We got to grips with eight to find out.
How we tested them
A comfortable grip is key to applying lots of force and using a tool for prolonged periods, so we made that the centre of our test. We also looked for colour coding, which makes it easier to select the type you need in the middle of a job. In each set we wanted a good mix of blade types and sizes, with parallel-tipped, slotted and the ever-useful stubbies garnering extra points.
