Vote on the Best Power Tool tip Hex Allen Drivers
I am looking for opinions on the 1/4" Drive Hex Allen Driver Metric "Power Tool" tip type set that are not soft or wear or round out or snap in half.
When I can insert this in an included handle or 1/4" bit screwdriver or power tool to make quicker work of threading in tough plastic once I started by hand with my Hudy tool and to make quicker work during short periods of time at the track for my 1/8 Buggy. Don't necessary need the ball end versions, I might just buy individual 2.0 and 2.5mm ones.
Picture below of what I am looking for and list of nominees. You can add in if you don't see in the list.

Hudy
MIP

Bought the Losi 8-in-1 tool just for this reason.... Been using them for almost 2 years now, nitro, electric, 1/10, 1/8, doesn't matter. Love em. Not sure who makes/made them.
Hear a lot of good stuff about the Hudy's though....if you don't mind paying a little more.

I've have some 1/4 socket hex drivers from all the companies you listed. It's always the 2mm that gets worn down, until I finally bought mip tools. MIP tools are best. Don't bother with anything else.
Everyone loves Hudy tools, but to me they are overrated, and not as strong or tight fitting as mip hexes.
Dynamite tools are surprisingly good, but still nowhere as good as mip.

MIP are hands down the best - there is nothing out on this level of precision and strength. With they said, you pay for them.
My daily used bits are Dynamite DYN2930. I have been using these for 8 years. Yes I broke 2 in 8 years and replacement cost was like half the cost of MIP and I've broke one of those too.
