Bored need new tools not to use just to look at, its an illness

Okay then, the Polish counter girl at Screwfix/Toolstation..........

Remember Mate I had a part time job at Screwfix, not a very nice description of a Screw fix Employee Mate, Associate or colleague to be more PC. And to add we are not out of the EU Yet, the young Lithuanian Girl who was my Mentor was very helpful, she was only about 18, but very helpful, and a nice Lass to boot, more than the Witch who was my Line Manager, now there was someone who thought she was Gods gift to DIY, wanted to take her outside and give her a good talking to about Personnel Management, never had a clue, more interested in showing her Tatts off, yes Tatts, in case you're reading Spoon.

Wera Kompakt VDE Interchangeable Blade Screwdriver Set - https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p37240

I have a similar set, get a spare handle, I didn't realise how often a job requires both a flat and a pz/ph until I had these and switching soon gets to be a PITA. They're great for space saving in a tool bag, but, TBH, I think I rather have a set of regular drivers, and keep the handle the torx and the +/- bits in my bag for when I need those.

I might get a torque handle for mine now I see a setting printed on more and more stuff I install.

I also have the Wiha set, which I bought first, I much prefer the Wera.

Oh, and those pictured aren't the 'thin' ones, the insulation may hang up when trying to 'go deep'.

They do sell a set with 2 handles, the second handle replaces that stupid neon.
The torque handle adapters are very expensive, nearly double the cost of the larger set.

"Some" of my screwdrivers this doesn't include all the "other" ones.......... including the ratchet handle with multiple bits and the ones for small components and..... I could go on and on but you all know what I mean.
