Screwdrivers

Luckily, I haven't needed to remove any but grip screws. I've wanted some quality drivers for when I do more. After some research, I went with the Wheeler Engineering screwdriver bits.

The only way I found to get the true sizes is if you look up each bit individually on Midway. Even Wheeler's site does not list the dimensions. I measured every screw on all my guns, then I figured out the matching Wheeler bits. Turns out that only six flat bits, and their Ruger base pin latch bit, will fit everything but my sight adjustments. Simple jeweler screwdrivers cover that anyway.

You get three of each flat bit for $5. A handle is $10. So $50 did everything and I'll have plenty of spare bits to boot.

Wheeler has nice stuff. I've been making do with stuff not quite as good.

I went through all the screwdriver reviews on Midway, and Wheeler was easily the "winner". Buying one handle and bits instead of complete drivers, plus not owning many guns, made things less expensive than I had expected. I still have a filed-down stubby for my 10/22 takedown screw, though.
