Watch out for equipment where the screws are down long narrow holes. Typically
such equipment will expect you to have a screwdriver with the appropriate tip,
whereas most tool "sets" will come with one handle and an array of bits. Often
the adapter end of the handle is too wide to fit down those long narrow holes...
I've got various torx bits onto which I've cut a slit across the top, so that
I can use the bit with a regular flat-bladed screwdriver in order to get
access to tight spots - but I've only done that because I happened to have all
the bits already. If I were buying a set of tools from scratch I'd make sure I
had a separate tool for each type of tip.
I can keep the whole set together
and just grab it when someone assumes I'm about to kill myself.
They might still do that, but at least you can threaten to poke their eyes out :-)
