Terry, Don's recommendation to use a #1 Phillips is right on. It's a perfect
fit for all the different screws in the kits. I would also like to recommend
the version with the 8 inch long shaft for several reasons. First, the
longer shaft allows you to approach some long sideways angles where there is
room for the smaller shaft diameter to squeeze through, whereas the handle
on a shorter shaft might get in the way. Second, The long shaft moves the
handle out of my way so I can finger-touch start the screws by just spinning
the shank with my fingers. Just my preferences. 

73, Fred, AE6IC, K-Line
