I assembled my kit using a Phillips screwdriver made about 30 years ago by a
firm called Stanley in the UK, in the days when we still used to make stuff.
It is made from properly hardened steel, and shows no obvious signs of wear
after all those years.

It seems to be impossible nowadays to buy tools of any sort that are not
cheap cr*p made in China from poor quality steel that gets chewed up at the
first tough job it encounters.
