Based on the fact that you don't know of a supplier for the type of screwdriver that I reasonably asked for, you've chosen to subject me to a wide variety of insults, even though you have no evidence to support them. This make you a troll.
If you don't believe you're a troll, look back at what you wrote and ask yourself if it was reasonable or constructive. And start using your full name. Not doing so is a tactic favoured by trolls.

I answered on here but my response never came up, I suppose it disappeared to the rcm bearpit.

Well, unlike some other people, when I ask a question I like to answer those people who respond. Sometimes that leads to a large number of messages, but does it matter? It just seems polite.
Best wishes,

Are the small ones strong enough to use on screws? I thought they were for lightweight lens retaining rings.
Many thanks,
Chris
Sorry guys. I set the Follow-up: header to rec.crafts.metalworking. I think I replied to your posts there.

Gunner, I checked out their website and that is a nice looking kit. It looks more appropriate for me than the Brownells kit as there are no
0.020" bits in it. On the equipment I work on, I doubt I would have a use for the 0.020" bits, and they make up half of the Brownells kit. Why someone ever made a screw with a 0.360" by 0.020" slot (one of the sizes in the Brownells kit) is beyond me.I discovered today that I also need a 1/4" x 0.025" bit, as opposed to just the 3/16" by 0.025" bit, so a kit is looking like a good option.
The price of that Chapman kit is right too. I've already e-mailed them to ask what shipping the kit to England would cost. The reviews on Amazon are favourable, and with Gunner's blessing I'm assuming there aren't any quality issues with these kits. But if anyone thinks otherwise, now's the time to let me know.
I'll let everyone know how it works out.
Many thanks,
Chris
