wera, facom, proxxon just to name a few, not saying they are better cause I don’t have the money to buy and test em all. But they are quality products.
And some cheap brands can be good to they just won’t take the abuse a facom can take for example.
These are smaller tools. How much are you going to abuse them? Generally speaking the screws in electronics are easier to get out unless they are glued in. I kind of have cheap tools i can abuse and betters tools for other jobs that i keep mint. So i keep extra screw drivers in case i need to use one to pry or hammer some thing. I have a cheaper socket set i can hammer if need be. These are all for bigger jobs.
Of course you’re right, just saying I’ve had times when I had to put some torque on a screw to get it loose and with those cheap ones I had the “bit” came loose in the handle.
Not sure how much hep this will be but, I have to have these types of bits at work, much of our machinery is manufactured in Germany and they love to use security hex screws.
I have a couple of sets and both from the same place. Both were very reasonably prices. Here are links for both. I hope this helps.
As little as I paid for those 2 sets I really thought they would be in the trash by now. I was wrong... Both sets are holding up very well and gets used quite often.
That is a really nice set, I may order one of those myself. The sets I have do have a few more hex bits and even a few I had not seen before but that one looks like it has the 2 that I use the most. Well really the only 2 I use lol...
I would love to know where he got those, I have 20 guys at work that would place orders tomorrow lol....
Both lol, the security bits I need at my job. I have precision bits and drivers all around this house and my tool boxes at work. I need a really good one that is small enough to keep here in my guitar tool box (it will be used most for that) and quality enough to last.
for allen key type tools, I have had a Bondhaus set for like 25 years. Mine is the ball-end type. These things have endured literally 1000s of usesges over the decades. I was an avid RC car club racer too and these were ALWAYS in my pit box on race weekends. One set has endured ~15 different kit builds, with dozens of tear-downs and re-builds for each. Few of those were nitro kits where you really have to crank down on things to prevent them from falling apart from temperature / vibration extremes and 2 stroke engine oil splatter.
When you have the time I would very much like to know... Send it to me in a PM... LOL the wife is watching me and asking "Are you about to buy tools" LOL
