So,
I wanted to buy a screw driver set like ifixit's 64 bit one, but for much cheaper (cause its 1. its pricey 2. AFAIK its not even available, and have to be shipped from over the seas)

Requirements -:

1. As many bits it can support, but am buying it for small Philips screw bit (that is used in electrons like phone and laptops) and screw used in HDD bits ( I know that HDDs require many types of bits, but if they are there its always a plus).
2. Around 500rs
3. Of moderately good quality
4.Place of purchase : Online, amazon is preferred

Tell me if you need to know something more.

I doubt you will get a full fledged set for 500 INR, especially one of good quality. Have you looked at any brands in particular on Amazon?

Well, you find any good option above 500, then also mention it here, the budget can be a little flexible here.

But both are 32 bit, and I dunno if they contain mini philips one which is the ones I absolutely need.

Also tell me if I should not buy a screwdriver set, but instead buy separate Philips mini ones @ this pricepoint.

I bought one from a street vendor for Rs. 300 . It looks exactly like this: Volo 25 in 1 Precision Screwdriver Set Multi Pocket Repair Tool Kit for laptop/mobile phones/spectacles/watch.: Amazon.in: Industrial & Scientific
I cannot comment on the quality of the amazon one. But the one I have is perfect. Small accurate bits. No chipping. I did opened hdd, laptops and a mobile

I got 32 in 1 Jackly kit from flipkart for 100 but IMO bits other than Philips and Flat heads are useless for me. I am looking to get more of just those instead of entire kit.

^ Those cheap jackly kits are duplicates. I couldn't even find any original jackly.

If you look here - Mako Driver Kit - 64 Precision Bits
This kit is not at all "pricey" (2574.42 INR) ig shipping makes it much pricier (if these were for 2500 in amazon.in I would have quicky bought it , since iFIXit provides lifetime warranty and well, it can NEVER chip lol).

I would instead use banggood or aliexpress and get Xiaomi Mijia Screw driver set, Which is designed by some german company. It is 24 in 1 but has all the heads which one will require. Click Me! Looks neat afterall

----------------Edit

As Aesotric said, It is available through Mi india store also.

Bought this two years back, in 2018, so had to import that time. Didn't knew it had launched here also.

If its really amazon basic, then well, this would be the best option won't it? :)
Does it have the mini Philips set ?
