Tool: Screwdrivers Set - B1C$

The screwdriver is the most basic of tools and mandatory for beginners.  You can't assemble a freight car kit or take apart a locomotive without them.   There are a million varieties and sizes of screwdrivers.  I highly recommend that you buy a miniature screwdriver set that includes both flat head and Phillips head drivers.  All of them should have pivoting heads.  Ask your hobby dealer which brand he recommends.

While I have hex key drivers and other unusual screwdrivers I very seldom use them.  Most have never been used.  In my box I keep two sets, one magnetized and one not.  My Wiha set has longer blades for reaching deep inside a locomotive.

Screwdrivers are not pry bars, chisels, wedges, levers or any other of a host of creative ways to use them.  Keep these drivers in EXCELLENT condition.  If you need a set to bang on, buy a cheap set at the next train show.
