Hand tool recommendations:
this or this larger set of standard screwdrivers. Well made, and the tips on philips and slotted are laser etched with little grippy bits that prevent them from stripping screws, and make it easier to remove slightly stripped ones.
Wiha precision drivers - for small fasteners, these are the best. Made of good metal, don’t wear out, snap, or strip the fastener. Available in singles or kits, but I’d recommend waiting for them to go on sale.
