I have the Wheeler Gunsmithing Screwdriver set..There are eight individual blade widths,and each blade width has from 6 to 9 individual blade thickness.
Plus 8 different sizes of hes heads, three torque heads, 4 philips head, and two driver handles.
Firearms screws are usually buggered up by the wrong blade width and the wrong blade thickness.With this set,you can match to perfection.
Far outweigh Brownells I have a Wheeler set as well, however, the handle I have is not magnetized, which I wish it had. Otherwise, I have no complaints about the bits. Ditto on this.
Some people are educated beyond their intelligence.

I have been wanting a good set of screwdrivers for a while as I have eked all the life out of my small B-Square set from Academy. Brownell's has had almost all their bigger screwdriver sets on back order for a while. If anyone needs a set, they seem to have received a shipment this past week including their Starter Set, Professional Set and Master Set.

Just magnetize it by wrapping 16-18 gauge wire around it a dozen times or so and then touch the ends to a 12 volt battery for a few seconds.

Ive had great service for many years from a Brownell's set. l've added a short handle and a set of thin blade bits over time.
Both additions have been very useful. The quality of the bits is very consistent and they work very well to prevent mangling screw slots.

After years of getting by I recently purchased a set of Brownells, wish I had spent the $$ sooner. Would have saved a few screws, a few fingers, and frustration.

I don't care for the change a bit drivers. They are OK for cheep guns.... but they are too wobbly and have a bit of slack .
Have some Forestors, which I like a lot. Especially for small slots ...like one would find on scatterguns. I have had to grind my own drivers to get what I need . Often Grace drivers are used for that. Often one has to tap driver with a small hammer to get a stubborn screw to break free.
