    It may sound silly, but I often doubt which brand, material, price etc to choose. Which do you think are the best value for money screwdrivers and tools? Which material do they use (Chorme-Vanadium, etc).
    Many thanks

    Wihas and Weras are quality tools made in Germany and Czech Republic respectively, their precision and longevity is second to none. Most field techs and professional repair shops use one of the two.
    For the average joe and the DIYer, the iFixit tool is more than enough.
