Hello guys, I'm looking to buy a screwdriver set (ifixit type of thing) and I'm looking for recommendations

[AlexD1891]

Long story short. I like working on damaged hardware for the fun of it and sometimes, if I'm able to do it, repair them, but I've noticed that my dad old toolbox doesn't have what it takes for small works like these, since he worked more on big things (engines, water pumps and such)

 

I am looking to get a multi-bit screwdriver set and had my eye on the iFixit Pro but it seems kind of expensive (I know about the good quality of iFixit) but also, wanted to know about other more "budget" alternatives that could rival or worked just fine that contains prying tools and such.

Check Amazon.  They have a lot of the same type of kit branded differently, but the kits are pretty solid and definitely worth their price.

This is the kit I have:

But again . . . you will see other kits that look the same with different branding.

Not sure what country you're in, but if you're in the US and near a Lowes/Home Depot Kobalt makes a decent one. It's missing some of the tools but has most of the necessities for half the price. Their tools are good quality as well.

Xiaomi sells a Wiha Precision set for around $25. Bits are good german tool steel even though it has Xiaomi's name on it. 

Cheaper sets are OK if you only need Phillips stuff but the little torxes will become circles instead of stars within 5 uses. Wiha bits are strong. 

I also recommend getting nylon spudgers from amazon instead of ifixit's carbon fiber ones. $6.50 for 10 instead of $4 for 1.
