Best Fixed-Blade Screwdriver Set

Hey folks,

Well, I made the decision last night. After buggering a screw on an Uberti 1873 rifle last night (and then going out and finding where I could buy a replacement screw for it because a buggered screw head is just beyond embarrassing) I decided I'm going to bit the bullet and buy a really good set of fixed blade gunsmithing screwdrivers.

I want a good, complete set, and have a budget of around $200 (though I could go up to $300 or so if there were something really better for that price). I'm just sick of working on fine, expensive guns with cheap screwdrivers.

So who makes the best set out there? I've heard Grace has a good reputation. Some seem to like Forster while others don't. Brownells has a set that looks promising. I'm looking to know what's best, more or less regardless of price I guess. I want to do this once and get it over with, ending up with a set that I can use for life.

I know I want fixed blade. I don't trust the interchangeable tips.

Thanks,

Ben
