Question After #2 Phillips What Are The Six Most Commonly Used Screwdriver Bits For Computer Use?

[mongoose001]

After the ubiquitous #2 Phillips screwdriver, what are the six most commonly used screwdriver bits?
I've got a multi-bit screwdriver with six places for bits and thought what are the most commonly used bits?
So, what screwdrivers do you use the most for your computer?

Whether or not computer screws have the dot on them, they tend to fit JIS standard screwdrivers far better than Phillips #2, as you'd expect from something produced in Asia. So no, you generally shouldn't be using Phillips #2 on most computer screws.

Magnetic #2 Phillips Screwdriver

Nothing else you need anything else should come with the board or CPU cooler.

EDIT well I actually use a screw gun too make it quicker.

Even with a #2 phillips, the length of the shaft is important. If you are working on a bench a 4 inch shaft might be fine. Down in a PC case, you might want a 6 or 9 inch long shaft.

OK, go fit this M.2 drive with the M2 screws to this motherboard....
I'll just stand hear and watch.

As I said in the OP this isn't about #2 Phillips, this is what screwdriver heads you need APART from the #2.

Definitely agree you want magnetic. Losing screws in a case is no fun.

Very few have reason to be using D-Sub, or any flathead screwdrivers, so you'd be looking at torx and several sizes of sockets + philips/jis as my most common. But then again, liquid cooling and waterblocks aren't exactly common either, neither is disassembly of gpus to remove the heatsink.

But you are missing several tools, such as spatulas, needle nose pliers, slip-joint pliers, diagonal cutters, tubing reamer, scissors and a razor knife.

Probably the single most common tool that's actually useful for more than one purpose is the #2 Philips with a 9" shank as it's the only screwdriver that will mount any cpu cooler, which is why ppl like Noctua and beQuiet and Cryorig will include one in several of their coolers. The multipurpose screwdriver won't work for that application very well, if at all.

Another handy tool to have at times is one of these. They are cheap, plastic and good for prying on parts you don’t want to mark up.

6 inch to be specific you could go longer if you wish but no reason 2. Electric is important to me, well was at one time when I was building several week years ago.
EDIT a small pair of side cutters I guess would be the only other thing for zip ties although yu could cut them with a lot of things.
The question was after #2 so never thought he didn't know how long

Found my original in my box of screws it was a little pointed had to use some pressure for fans.

M.2 screw on my old school #2. Any standoff stuff should come with the case. Then you get into phones , tablets, and other item's besides a PC yes you could need more stuff.
