    +1 on the klein's top of the line.. but if you dont want to spend 70.00

    I bought a cheap set of nut drivers from harbor freight and then added some thin strong magnets from K&J magnets.
    and put them in the sockets. its not the best but works fine as often as I need them.

    Quoted from VolunteerPin:

    Hmmm. I already have a set of drivers and that sounds like an interesting solution. Do you have a recommendation on which magnets to put in there? I'm thinking the thinnest ones they have. Also, did you put varying diameter magnets based on the size of the nut driver or 'one size fits all'?
    Axial or diametrically magnetized?

    I used different sizes I measured the opening and get the closes size also don’t get the thinnest ones or they wont be close enough to the head of the screw to hold. there cheap try some different sizes.
