Allen keys are handy to have, try to get a Halfords discount card as well.

Shall I get another Whia set as I ordered the Slim ones: https://www.screwfix.com/c/tools/screwdrivers/cat9780002?brand=wiha

There is a tenner off them at the moment.

best thing is that you can buy extra bits or replacements if you damage one.

That’s a good idea, also changing the heads is a great idea rather than trying to find all different screwdrivers. I may swap the slimline for them and just buy them.

I also considered: Wera 135926 Kraftform Kompakt W1 Maintenance Kit https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TJ3J81Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7o2VBbBPDSPRM

I use the standard ones for daily work and the slim as a "clean" set for my tester bag. I buy them when they are on this offer, it pops up regularly, and keep a set of each in reserve in the shed. Only ever snapped them through intentional misuse though.
