I am looking for a good set of flatheads, Phillips and torx type of heads... I see wheeler has a set for around 69 bucks, but I am not fond of wheeler products... any other recommendations .. my price limit is around 120 dollars.. I now have the wheeler torque handle.  I should have gotten the digital, back then they didn't have it...  Again I am not looking for regular heads, they have to be for gunsmiths, hollow ground

Grace makes good stuff but not cheap.

Also, if you need a nice torque tool for inch lbs the Borka is tough to beat but again $$.

I have the older version with the pre set holes...its been awesome.

First time in a long while that I was able to speak to someone that wasn't outsourced.   Peggy spoke the queens English, very helpful...  Thanks again

I use Klein.  It's the multi head tool, I can put any head in it.  That's what I use for hollow ground screws.

Chapman set in my gun bag, nice tools.
I also picked this one up a few years ago and it has come in handy many times - http://www.leevalley.com/US/Wood/page.aspx?p=70158&cat=1,43411,43417&ap=2

Wadsworth Falls Mini Ratchet kits are real nice too...We use them in work and they hold up well. Also made in Rockfall, Connecticut.

The mini ratchet is like the next step up from the chapman.. but also more expensive, 12 degree arc for tighter spots, holds the bits tighter, its solid...

But dont lose the bits, because you arent to be able to make something standard "work" like you would with the chapman.

RR917, I am confused. the Chapman is $95 while the one you suggest is 25 dollars cheaper... which is a better set

I have the Chapman 5575 master tools set.  Excellent quality.  Perfect for guns and a whole lot of other things.
