A ratcheting driver set is even nicer, you get all the allen tips plus torx, the weird philips variants, etc. Mine has sockets under 3/4" even. I use the thing like 10 times a day.
I have a big ratcheting screwdriver with the drivers stored in the handle, its so nice. And for smaller stuff I have a ratcheting right angle one that’s great for leverage. That plus a tiny screwdriver with 30 different tiny bits for all different kinds of electronics, and a simple drill. It can all be had for under $50, compared to removing the frustration of not having the right bit plus the right tool which is priceless.
I bought a complete Allen wrench set and still don’t throw away the disposable ones that come with assemble-it-yourself products
I have literally a dozen allen key sets, at least, and still toss the freebies into a drawer
they come in handy every now and then when you need to hammer one into a partially stripped bolt head or something like that
Precisely. They’re the red shirts of the operation. I’m not putting the fancy Craftsman shit into my drill.

No matter which one I get. It’s always missing the one I need 😢
