I prefer the older Irazola ones to those as I found the grip better, they are quite big too though.

You can buy the Bahco ones separately at RS Components.

There is half a dozen screwdriver threads as well, anyway I quite like the Wera ones as they can easily be bought individually from screwfix.

I bought some Irazolas and took them back, I just did not like the feel in my hand.

Glad it's not just me, I don't like the hollow ground tips on the larger Flatheads either.

None of those Bahco sets have plus/minus screwdrivers. Do they sell them separately?

Don't think Bahco make them, mate. Not seen any so far.

Been thinking of getting a new set for a while, after looking at loads of different sets, I decided to stay with Kew Technick.

wera kraftform plus are awesome. the tips have laser etched grips on and they literally bite into the screw heads.

Helpful thread guys, thanks very much.

I bought a cheaper set from CEF, now looking to replace the worn ones so Wera seems to be the way to go.

I have both Wiha - Browse for Products | CPC

&

Wera - Browse for Products | CPC

Both are great, not managed to break any yet. The Wiha's have been in daily use for the past 2 years.

Screwdriver bits, I won't buy anything but Wiha Hot - WIHA|20822|BITS, POZI, 25MM, PZ2, HOT, 2PK | CPC they last for ages even in the impact driver.

I've had a set of wickes drivers (possibly Draper) for over a year, had no probs yet still going strong.
The softy bits on the handles have worn a bit, on the most used ones.
Downside is the low rent badge.
I did buy the Wera torque set though.
