I would never own a set of screwdrivers that all have identical colored handles
The Wera are not, well not really. They are grouped by tip type, the handles sized by tip size.
The green are Philips, Red Robertson, and white Pozi-driv
The bigger handles are #2, smaller #1.
I don't have a #1 square in this format, but it's fairly rare in my world, enough that I don't mind getting it out of deeper storage anyway.
The old-school Craftsman always had the same red/blue/clear, and you have to go out of your way to get different colored handles with the automotive brands. Their sets are all matching too. You would have to buy them individually to get that.
Companies like Klein (and I'm sure others) have the tip size/shape printed on the end of the handles, so they can be identified inside a toolbelt/pouch.
Until I got this set, I have used deliberately mis-matched drivers. They sit in tray in the top drawer. Irwin for #2 Robertson, Grass for Pozi, and a cheap Philips from the big box store. There
was a matching slotted driver there too, but it grew feet and walked away. That was the motivation for the Weras......even though I already have the Festool set. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense economically, but they sure are handy.
The somewhat matchiness and mounting system were big factors, though I could have achieved similar results with a magnet and the drivers I already had [blink] not near as cool looking though.
My metric drivers are like that.
