I agree with the comment below but I also recommend you buy quality
screwdrivers -- the best you can find with hardened tips so that the blades
on the philips head driver do not get screwed up which screws up and strips
the screws while you are screwing in the screw [I never realized how funny
and yet fun the word "screw" is].

One of the best and longest lasting screwdrivers you can get is the
little tips made for power drivers. They fit into a standard 1/4 inch
nutdriver and will outlast any regular screwdriver made for use by hand.
Because they are made for power drivers they are incredibly tough. As a
bonus, get a 1/4 inch nutdriver that is magnetic and the tips become
magnetic too.
However, DO NOT be tempted to assemble your K3 with a power
screwdriver. Hand tighten only!
Good luck and have fun!
