| 1.5mm Ball Point Hex
Im looking for someone that sells these. I have owned the cheapos from harbor frieght but they wear out after changing 20 beadlocks or so. I need a harder steel or ever titanium. Also Im looking for a T-handle or a Rachect type grip. I currently own these and the 1.5 is shot. Got them for christmas. The ends look like this so It can swivel so you dont have to be strait on. |

The small ball ends tend to wear out quickly. Look for Wiha or Bondhus brands. Really the best drivers are Axial, the Ti coated Integy's, and a few others. They don't use a ball, which is why they work better.

Yeah havent seen a good quality 1.5mm ball,I have the ofna x long, those are awesome, I also use the integy ti hex shanks in some diy 1/4 hex driver attachments,those suckers last and last with no signs of wear or slop,I just picked up a setup of the godly expensive proline long ones, sadly only 2 ball hex, but I just felt like spending some $$$. I gotta admit integy stuff I normally would not touch with a 10ft poll, but the ti coated hex driver shanks, not the whole thing I just use the shanks so can not comment on the handle sections, are worth every damn penny, and they are not that expensive, compared to some other brands. You should really get 2 style, straight and ball, ball should only used to access and not for everytime use, either way get machined/ ground tips, cast/forged tips are just a waste even wiha aint that great |

I don't remember the brand, it was a no-name I think, but I've had that 1.5mm ball driver forever now that I think about it I like the Integy drivers too, broke a .050" tip but it was my fault |
