Chapman for me too.

Brownells.

Another vote for Chapman.

Grace, Brownell's or Chapman.

I use the Grace roll pin punches and starters and they are the best quality punches I've ever used. I'll be buying their screwdriver set soon.

I use Chapman a lot at work and they never fail me, but that's not gunsmith work.

Buy once, cry once...

I have made thousands of screwdrivers and bits while working at a shop that made hand tools. Was Vaco and then Klein. Our bits were made with a straight tip for about .030 to .050. Not so with the screwdrivers. They are around a 4-5 degree angle. Don't know about the others but the Forster type screwdriver is what you need. Looks like they have a nice selection of sizes. in their set. I would go with the Forster.

I really appreciate all of the replies.

For anyone interested, here are the bits I mentioned in the original post.

Brownell's or Chapman

Chapman is a good U.S. mom and pop shop. A while back so many people were hitting their website from the forum that the sales rep created an account and had a sigforum discount. I bought their master set as well and keep it in my range/ ‘gunsmithing’ box. Have not been disappointed.

I've had good luck with Brownells magna bits. The Chapman set I had several years ago was too brittle. The bits would break where as the the Brownells seem to have more flex. But who knows, I could have had a bad heated treated batch.

Ditto, cant / won't be disappointed. Good luck!

Chapman for me also. Broke a bit years ago. When I called to order a new one they ( very happily) sent me a free replacement. I insisted on paying for it, as it was my fault, but thy wouldn't hear of it. A great ole American company. Support them...

Wiha or Wera bits.
