TLDR but
Wera Hex Plus wrenches. Nothing better than these german pieces of art IMO although the steel is so hard that it can almost damage softer metal (even cheeeeeep steel still) bolts but is not an issue if you use your brain in conjunction with tools
20 euro from bike-components IIARC. These are my secret hex wrenches so don't tell your friends.
Speaking of wera, their screwdriver that BC sells is not JIS (japanese insustrial standard - what shimano uses... not phillips) but fits limit screws on shimano FD and RD sooo perfectly and also fits philips too. No need to hunt down a $100 JIS screwdriver from the '70s anymore
I don't even tell other mechanics about the wera screwdriver, its so good
