I like Hazet screw drivers, especially their slot screw drivers. Made in Germany, not cheap but the best I've come across. Proper profiles, not cheap grinding.

I use my Chapman Master set almost daily. The little ratchet is best of several I have. USA made is a plus.

Since I imagine many have followed this thread, here is the set my gunsmith both uses and recommended to me as I worked on my 1964 Singer 7-33.  I included a large photo so you can see the specifications chart on the lid, detailing the blade thickness and shank diameter of each bit.  I asked him if this wasn't a bit of "overkill" given the high price.  His response was compared to the cost of having a screw custom machined, these are a deal.

Looks good, might seem expensive initially but in the long run it will be worth it. Old firearms, like old sewing machines, are notorious for having oddball screwheads! My WWGreener shotgun has slots so thin that I still haven't found a driver bit that fits!!
