Im looking to invest in a quality set of drivers, later in the year.

But right now I cant find a budget friendly T05 driver in the bricks and mortar shops.

any idea where I can buy a cheap T05 driver?

Ive had a look at bunnings, jaycar and Mitre 10.

Much appreciated.

I lost my set I lent them to someone and they vanished so I purchased a set at Mitre 10, I can't remember the price but it was not epensive.

Normal ain't coming back, the crazy stays.

What do you consider ‘cheap’?

“AI” aka Machine Learning 2.0 - where is the AGI we were promised???

I ended up buying non Philips/slotted screwdrivers off aliexpress because of the crap selection locally. Everything is a driver bit set with a 6.35mm hex attachment and a weak magnet in the screwdriver handle so you have the bits drop off when they stay attached to the screw better than the magnet can hold it.

The selection in stores is so bad that I couldn't even find a long pozidrive bit or screwdriver to take screws out that were put in when pozidrive was a thing that you could buy.
