The pricing on Amazon is amazing.

 

Single one: 10 Pounds

Dual-Pack: 40 Pounds

 

Makes a lot of sense.

I have one, seems to work with PCs fine, but I haven't really needed to work on my desktop since I got it, mostly a couple laptops. Not too bad for the price.

ok 

 

Okay.

 

Honestly: a screwdriver isn't high-tech. Don't buy 2$ ones and you're fine. Depending on how much you're actually going to use it, you don't have to spend a lot of money on it.

Not sure about the bit sizes, but they look kinda large, larger than the regular screws in PC's.

 

Nah, "she'll be right", #2 philips is what is usual in computers this bit is pretty much the de-facto standard supplied with all changeable bit screwdrivers.

Obviously now and again a smaller screwdriver, side snips, tweezers, needle nosed pliers etc make life easier but virtually the only tool you need is a #2 philips screwdriver.

Personally I have never appreciated a ratchett on a screwdriver but each to their own.
