Stanley always makes good-quality tools, and this set is no different. The blades are moulded directly into the handles to make them “virtually unbreakable”, and the handles themselves are large, with soft rubber for an excellent grip.

It’s worth noting that metric bits have almost completely replaced Imperial-sized ones, but screws put in 50 years ago haven’t heard about this. Still, it’s possible to use a driver that’s slightly too small to loosen a screw, so it’s not worth worrying about having every possible size in your collection. A choice of the most common sizes, in both flathead and Phillips (cross-shaped) will do for most day-to-day jobs.Handle moulded direct to bar virtually unbreakable bond.

Tethering hole integrated into the handle, ensuring tools are never mislaid or dropped, and delivering additional safety for users when working at heights COMFORTABLE ERGONOMIC HANDLE: Large soft-grip, tri-material ergonomic handle designed to reduce of fatigue and increase comfort in repetitive applications Everyday DIY is one thing, but screws are as common as nails in woodworking, and if you’re into building electronics the need for a specific tiny driver with an unusual head is a regular occurrence. Thankfully, you have plenty of choice when it comes to screwdriver sets that are suitable for any eventuality. Is 58 screwdrivers enough? Could you make do with 12? Does each one need a handle, or will a series of interchangeable heads work? Do you need them to be insulated? Or magnetic? What about hex, truss or Torx heads? If we showed you a set of 100 screwdrivers, would you think that was overkill? Large soft-grip, tri-material ergonomic handle designed to reduce of fatigue and increase comfort in repetitive applications TETHERING HOLE: Integrated into the handle, ensuring tools are never mislaid or dropped, and delivering additional safety for users when working at heightsBefore you buy the biggest set you can find, ask yourself what your priorities are – if you just want a set for occasional DIY, then you don’t need a 100-piece set with every possible head. Equally, if you need a set for specific technical jobs, in addition to everyday home DIY, then it pays to make sure you buy a set that covers every eventuality, and has a suitably wide range of head types and sizes. Sets that comprise a universal handle with many interchangeable tips are popular because they’re light and easy to carry, but once you lose one of the tips it tends to stay lost – they’re not very big and are often dull in colour. Lose too many and you’ll have to buy a new set of tips, or potentially replace the whole set. Can’t I just buy any old cheap screwdrivers?

We don’t think so. In the average home, you’ll find a vast array of different screws, all of which will – as sod’s law dictates – require the screwdriver which isn’t the one you’re holding in your hand. This is why it pays to invest in the best screwdriver set you can afford, so you’ll always have the right tool for any screw – be it Posidrive or Phillips, Torx or truss head.Sand-blasted for protection against corrosion and wear, Part of the next generation Stanley FatMax® professional screwdriver range NARROW WAIST AND SMOOTH, DOMED END: Deliver excellent torque, speed, control and ease-of-use in challenging fastening or loosening applications, ideal for driving wood screws
