Any recommendations for a decent set of screwdrivers?  I've bought a ratchet set with various attachments but specifically struggling to get the Ros Massey Ferguson combine out of its box.  I've tried the Phillips head screwdrivers I've got,  no good, the ratchet screwdriver is too wide to go into the 'tunnel' the screws are at the end of.   One of the miniature screwdrivers seems to stay in the screw head without turning but I can't get enough grip on it.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Thanks Jack, I manage normally it is just this one particular model which will not shift.  It may require drastic measures! Attached picture of the plastic base.  The screws are in those 'tunnels'

Think that set or something similar will do the trick.

Also very interested in a set to sort this problem out. Looking at the Wera range there are quite a few options. Is there a particular set that is recommended?

Thanks  P

Are you sure that the screw heads are the standard Phillips or Pozidrive type heads? I have a number of models, from various manufacturers, where the screw heads are either star bits or even a triangular head (1/43 UH) rather than the normal cross bits?

The combine is finally released.  They were Philips head, the reason I'd had so much trouble is because the screws appeared to be glued in place.  Some WD40 loosened then and I was able to remove the combine.  The underneath of it stinks now though
