  If you want this (more or less) exact set, but in orange - and don't have a CostCo membership - you can get it from Bunnings for $4 more.

    Can't comment on Costco item quality, but craftright is not the best in my experience

  Yes identical. Bought one but is this type of tool set any good?

    I have the CraftRight one and it works fine for any DIY'ing I've done.

    I have the orange set from Bunnings, works well and very handy to have at home. Cheap tools for basic DIY operations.

  higher torque with less hand fatigue

  If you want those features, buy a speed handle and a square drive to 1/4hex adapter. Using these, I drove a whole box (100qty) of screws into wood without fatigue, in one session, and I'm not a tradesman.

  Yes, you could use a battery-powered screwdriver, but my solution will last you a lifetime, is always ready, and never needs charging. Also has no problems being stored in a hot tool box/car boot in the sun.

  Notes:

  • If possible, inspect the adapter before buying. A lot are designed for long-shank screw bits (the type with a deep groove), and they work poorly with short bits. Use a magnetic bit holder if you buy the wrong sort.
  • It's quite easy to torque the head off screws when using a speed handle. I recommended you practice on some scrap material first, deliberately trying to tear the screw head off, so you know how much pressure is needed.
  • Starting screws in material without a pilot hole needs a different technique than with screwdrivers. You'll figure it out, but it's also easy to carry an awl to make a pilot dent in soft materials. Or just use a small Phillips bit to make a dent, or an automatic centre punch.
  • Also, learn the difference between Phillips and Posidriv bits, and why they are different. Phillips bits are designed to "cam out" if you apply too much torque, Poizidriv will just tear the head off.
