recommendation on power driver hex tip set?

[iamsuperbleeder]

my wrist is screaming at me for twisting these little bit drivers... I plan on buying a cheap power driver from Lowe's or maybe even Walmart, but I need some long hex driver tips to use with it.

does anyone have any recommendations on a decent set that won't cost me $40? and will fit into the 1/4" bit driver end? I need metric, at least the 4 common sizes (1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0). standard end at least, ball ends are not a necessity, but if a set of those could be had for cheap, then I'll order a set of those too

again, I'm not looking for the best money can buy, because I'll eventual break those too I would be comfortable spending $15 - $20 on a decent set of those 4 pieces


thanks!

Mcmaster has them for like $3-4 a tip...I got 2 of each of the 4 sizes I need for way less than any of the hobby manufactures sell them for.

Dont get the ball end ones, the hex shank comes all the way down to the ball so its makes them hard to get into tight spaces. The long non ball end ones are perfect in my eyes, they are about 1.5-2" of straight shank, not too long not too short.

Search for screwdriver bit and they will come up, takes a bit of looking though.

Here is the 2mm part number:7397A47

I have used them quite a bit and they are holding up very well so far.

thanks! I'll have to take a look. I thought about checking Grainger, but I've ordered tools from them in the past with my last job and they weren't worth crap, lol

I only put my money in MIP tools. They are the best hex drivers I've ever owned. Sure, they aren't as fancy and shiny looking as EDS or other brands, but they are damn strong and I have never rounded one off. Ever!

MIP

Hands Down the best quality driver bits

I bought the exact set back around last February. I am not rough with my tools...First use brand new.... The one bit I used never made it through 25 minutes of assembly of a brand new set of Axial beadlocks.

I wouldn't pay anything for that set. Paid more then that price show too.
I bought a "Dynamite" set and have had great luck with those. Bought the same Dynamite set for our son and his are all still in great shape. He is NOT so caring about using them properly either.

Yes they are spendy, but the MIP's are awesome.

These Ofna tips are decent quality, and in your price range

Larger Ofna set with Box ends also

But I have to agree that the Dynamite set is also a good buy and the MIP's, while the most expensive of the bunch are also the best for the money, they are awesome!!

I'll second the MIP tips. I have been beating on mine with a cordless drill doing bead locks and what not for more than a year now.
The tips are still nice and sharp. Definately worth the money.

I have this kit.

And this driver...
1/4 in. 4-Volt Cordless Screwdriver-HP41LK at The Home Depot

The torque clutch works good and is VERY light, so you won't strip out stuff. Just have to break it in on some stuff around the house first.

Will definately save your wrist.
And the integy driver is a torque wrench, that you can adjust, so you know when something is tight. Also, the chrome part on the back is a spinner, so you can move your hand with out tearing up your palm.
