15 quid that looks brilliant.

I was thinking having one that changes heads like the one I posted as it'll save space and saves carrying so many screwdrivers around. Oh do you think it's pointless ?

I have a couple of Wera interchangeable blade sets
They are brilliant.
Not used other interchangeable ones so can't say what they are like.

I have used Wera CK and some cheaper ones.
One thing I have learnt is don't scrimp on tools.
You don't need the most expensive but don't go to cheap or you end up buying over and over again

I've had the ones you pointed out, I ended up giving them away, they just felt cheap.
I did also find it slows things down changing bits, I prefer just pulling the driver I need from the side pockets of a tool bag or tool belt.

I've had 2 sets of the ones in which I provided the link to and found them to be a decent, robust set for general use that you don't worry about when using them as a chisel

I keep the decent tools for the nicer jobs, tool bags will be the next thing.

I've found this bag to be brilliant for the money, big with plenty of pockets.

I’ve got a set of magnussons at home for diy stuff, and I buy a WIHA set almost once a year for work.

Even if you buy a full set, you might need to replace the most common sizes every so often.
A decent sized slotted for switch and socket terminals…. And a pz2 for screws.

Also get a +/- (combi slotted/cross)
Ideally, a torque screwdriver for mcb terminals.

I’ve noticed a few ovens now come with torx (6 star) screws on their terminals and lid covers.

Set of metric Allen keys, might only need a couple of sizes. For Henley block terminals.

Ovens and hobs seem to have a been that way for a while now

Like others were saying I'd be mostly having a mix of good tools and cheap tools depending on the job
