I am looking for a preferably titanium kit consisting of flathead/philips/hex/star bits of many fine-sizes (with a screwdriver of course).

I need it for laptops and PCs. Some laptops do not use traditional/common screw sizes or types. ;o
 
i went to a local hardware shop and got a whole kit which had every size and had small to large in /flathead/philips/hex/star bits for around $20
 
it doesn't have to be titanium, I get by on some $0.99 precision screwdrivers just fine. Interestingly I haven't run into a laptop with uncommon screw types(out of the dozens I've fixed) :)

The last one I dealt with was an HP Compaq nx9420. It had a lot of stars. X_x
 
Titanium is more of a buzz word in tools (with some wear resistant properties) unless you're looking for non-sparking, non-magnetic: http://www.qualitysafetytools.com/ccp0-catshow/Tools.html :eek:

If you're looking at power driver bits, maybe you could convince me titanium-coated from a quality brand is worthwhile.

You could probably be fine with whatever you can dig up at Lowes or Sears.

Harbor Freight could do you even cheaper: http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-t...iece-screwdriver-set-with-tweezers-97517.html or

If you want high quality, you can spend a lot of money on Wiha tools. Here's a reasonably priced set: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NZ7ITI/ Should be able to use any system 4 bits you might want to add to that: http://www.wihatools.com/pro_System4.htm Note, it's a non-magnetic retainer and there's an ESD-safe version available.

Not looking for titanium-coated tools. When I say titanium, I mean 100% titanium. Titanium partially because of "buzz word" but because of its strength and durability. Titanium hammers are super light and durable (I have used one before), but also expensive. X_x

The problem I have had with tools I have used is the durability/reliability and cheap quality/build/design. Something always bends, wears out quickly, or breaks apart. I want an end-all kit.
