Good quality screwdriver for laptop repair

Hi all,

I'm looking for advise on buying a new screwdriver set. In fact, I don't really need a full set as much as I need a positive tip magnetic head small driver. My trusty old red has totally lost it magnetism and it's looking the worst for wear. Any thoughts from the pros?

I ordered one of these last week, i have had a similiar set the same make before but i lost a few pieces:p still working perfectly with the bits i have left

Not bad, and I see he's sold quite a few of them. I think there's a lot of bits in there I wouldn't use (or hope never to have to use!), however, I don't see anywhere that the set is magnetised.

Well that's handy:)

It is magnetised, the heads wouldn't stay in it otherwise. It only comes to less than €4 delivered:)

Stick a small magnet on the side of the screwdriver?

Second that option. Sticking a small magnet on the side of the shaft will do the trick but be careful you don't hit any of the internal parts or you could do damage with the magnetised screwdriver.
