Just curious what tools (namely screwdrivers) everyone uses for assembling their models.

The screwdriver that comes with the builds (both the Countach and E-type) seem to be of an inferior grade of steel and the tip strips and makes it very hard to tighten the screws.

I got one of those multi sets of screwdrivers from Amazon.You may not be able to get them at the moments though without a delay.

this is what I use.

I have that set too.
Even after around 3 years and countless builds, the tips are all still perfect.

Originally, I thought the Olsa brand was perfect for my hands. Then I discovered the Wiha brand. Now, my personal favorite it the Wera. Very comfortable and grippy. Also easy to keep magnetized.
