ADVICE - A BIT OF EVERYTHING

But there’s a much easier way to deal with the dilemma and making sure you won’t left without the right Torx, Star, hex or or other bolt driver you need: a multibit set.

These usually come with a screwdriver handle, plus a range of quick-change bits covering common fastener types and sizes.

The bits can often be used with power tools, too.

But with so many fasteners and a range of sizes, there’s a big choice: from tools with a few bits stored in the handle to comprehensive kits in their own carry cases.

The best option is to get a kit or two with everything you need.
