Hello, 
I'm looking for a screwdriver set witch would be good for from electronics to computer parts. Any advice?
And how to deal with ruined screw heads? It's still usable, but every time I try to screw it it gets worse and worse.

use the proper size. 

 

I just have a set of generic tools for the TINY screws, then craftsmen everything else.

and stripped screws can be removed with needle nose pliers if they are not inset

otherwise you need to drill the head off

Seriously, tell me, I've never heard that before and if it does work I'd like to know.

iFixit has some good sets (I think LTT has an affiliate code for that.. Just throwing that out there..), but I don't have one myself, so I cant judge its content.

I have a few loose cross and minus (are they called that?) screwdrivers in various bigger sizes and a set of 6 small screwdrivers.

I have all the screwdrivers I need, except for tri wing screwdrivers. If I had that, I would have everything. There are probably some good multi bit screwdriver sets which features everything

With scredriver sets, either go cheap and often or expensive and take care of them.

 

Allot of the time it's luck of the draw unless you can find something special with quality and price.

I need to get myself a torx set, painful that there isnt a store in my area that sells them for less than 80% markup on factory price.

Umm a don't buy stuff with exchangeable bits since you have to buy the whole kit any way. B buy something actually good quality.

For you basic stuff. Flat head, Phillips, and torx get your standard precision screwdriver from a reputable brand. Craftsman had a pretty complete set when I bout mine nearly 10 years ago now. The quality is decent but not amazing. How much are you willing to spend?

Not too much. Less than 30EUR  if possible.
