About this deal
Unsurprisingly, this Halfords Advanced set is all but identical to the eight-piece collection we tried, but with two fewer ’drivers. The other major difference is that three of the six are Phillips rather than Pozis, although neither set features a stubby. They are colour coded, with two sets of three dots on the handles, which are the same style and equally comfortable. Some sets feature a ratcheting screwdriver handle, allowing for turning force to be applied in one direction. Ratcheting handles are great for fasteners in tight spaces as the screws can be driven without the need to remove and then reposition your screwdriver, all the while delivering more torque. However, to encase the mechanism, ratcheting driver handles are usually a little larger than regular precision screwdrivers while also more expensive.
