Well done Bill you are doing a top job. How good is it when you find something that does exactly the job you need AND at a reasonable price, nice find with the screwdrivers.
I have a similar (though probably larger size) set and one blade in particular gets a lot of use on typewriters. The big problem is the bit-holder though. The magnetic sleeve is on the chunky side and can sometimes get either in the way or in the line of sight of the target screw head. I keep a constant lookout for one-piece gunsmiths' and jeweler's screwdrivers of the conventional handled sort. I'm currently using some very cheap-but-good ones which are magnetic and have a swivel tip to the handle, but they aren't the holy grail.
You've been doing a capital job for the first 4 days of ITAM :D
