What do you techies / repair people use?

Every maplin tool i've got is shite, was useing a T6 bolt bit and it's rounded itself off, far too soft.

Is there a snap-on version for the IT trade

Thanks

I have a Pros Kit purchased from Maplin a couple of years back. As with most screw drivers, they eventually break and you have to get another set. Doesn't help when you use the kit to fix your car at the side of the road though

I bought this toolkit (at cost price) when I used to work there many years ago, I still use most of that stuff today:

Tools wise probably best to get something which is made with chrome vanadium rather than normal stainless steel, my car socket sets are chrome vanadium and much better than previous cheap stainless steel shite I used to have.

I've gone through loads of tools and settled on a range of different bits and bobs from different companies, my main screwdriver kit being from Tesco
