Screwdriver Sizes Chart
A full screwdriver set might seem like it has far more sizes than you will ever need, but then there comes a day where you realize that your screwdriver set is missing a size that you desperately need. It is thus better to buy the sizes that you need most rather than to buy a full set that you later find is incomplete.
