Building a backyard shed - what screwdrivers do I really need?

Hey everyone, I'm planning to build a 10x12 shed in my backyard this spring. I've got most of the big tools covered (circular saw, drill, etc.) but I'm staring at my old mismatched screwdriver set and wondering if I need to upgrade. My current set is just a cheap hardware store assortment - some are stripped, some don't fit right. For framing, sheathing, and trim work on this shed, what screwdrivers should I actually invest in? Don't want to buy stuff I won't use. Thanks!

Retired carpenter here - built more sheds than I can count. First thing: get a good #2 Phillips and a 1/4" slotted that feel good in your hand. Don't cheap out - you'll be driving hundreds of screws. I prefer ones with comfortable grips since you'll be using them for hours. For deck screws on the floor framing, a square drive (Robertson) is actually better than Phillips if your screws are compatible - less cam-out. My old Stanley set lasted 30 years.

Home inspector chiming in - seen lots of DIY sheds fail inspection due to poor fastening. DeWaltDan is right about budget, but don't skip quality on screwdrivers. Get ones with magnetic tips - they'll save you dropping screws between floor joists. Also recommend a stubby screwdriver for tight spaces around door/window framing. And PLEASE use the right size - stripping screw heads is the #1 issue I see. If your Phillips is wobbling in the screw, it's wrong size.

Renovation specialist here - for a shed you'll want versatility. Get a multi-bit driver with Phillips #1, #2, #3, slotted sizes, and square drives. The Milwaukee 11-in-1 or similar is what my crew uses daily. For trim work, consider an offset screwdriver for corners. And if you're doing roofing/siding, a long shaft screwdriver helps reach awkward spots. Pro tip: keep a dedicated drywall screwdriver separate - once you use it on drywall, the tip gets ruined for fine work.

Budget-conscious perspective: you don't need $200 worth of screwdrivers for one shed. Harbor Freight's Pittsburgh pro series are surprisingly decent for the price - lifetime warranty too. Get their 15-piece set for under $20. The magnetic multi-bit driver is like $8. Save your money for better lumber or roofing materials. Just avoid the absolute cheapest dollar-store ones - those will strip on first use. Also, your drill/driver will do 90% of the work anyway.
