The best screwdrivers are ones that have been adapted for the job. A long screwdriver with the blade ground to around 2mm across the tip, and then hollow ground on both sides to fit the screw slots (as well as hardening and tempering it) will be ideal, provided you can make or adapt your own tools. Screw head slots can be recut (deeper and wider) and the heads cleaned up with a file, emery paper and polished or burnished to a mirror finish (if they're stainless steel) or if they're mild steel (or silver steel) they can be tempered blue after being polished.
