Support our friends at Klein. They also make exceptional screwdrivers.

They're also available almost everywhere. Your local electrical supply almost certainly sells them and Home Depot has them in the electrical aisle.

Bonus: they sell cabinet tip screwdrivers in the common slotted and Philips sizes.

Edited to add: Snap-On also makes good screwdrivers, and your friendly local garage can probably tell you when the Snap-On truck comes by </edit>

If you need quality slotted screwdrivers for slotted screws with both the width and thickness of the blade specified, you'll likely need to find your local gun and ammunition store (and they'll likely be a special order even there).

Gunsmiths and sewing machine repair people are just about the last people on the planet who care about the blade fitting the slot well in both directions for a wide variety of screw head sizes.

or any marine shop. slotted fasteners abound across the seven seas.

with very little practice you can easily shape a screwdriver tip with a hand file

edit: its also helpful to do a quick-n-dirty case hardening if you have a gas stove or other way to get it dull red

Yeah after reading some of the Wera reviews on Amazon.ca I think I'll stick with my Klein.

If you're in USA I'd just buy something local made. I've not used it personally but I've heard good opinions: https://www.amazon.com/Williams-WRS-1-Magnetic-Ratcheting-Sc...

You can buy things from other countries and have it shipped here. But yes, Amazon has Wera products.

Maybe, could be a chinese knock off brand posing as Wera, you'll never know until it's shipped.

edit: looks like Wera tools specifically are sold by a bunch of different people on Amazon, NEMobile, and BCFasteners are a couple that I've seen, so really no idea what you're getting.

Eh, Amazon was just an easy example.

Grainger stocks Wera in the US

Added bonus being that Grainger doesn't track you all around the internet.
