Seriously, just get MIP. Invest in tools. Period. The difference is a only a few dollars per tool from the ones that fit loose and strip screws, and are not even close when it comes to comfort and quality. You're not buying $300 SnapOn wrenches. Don't overthink it.

After decades in the hobby I finally decided to spend some money on the best tools available. There is some debate on this ...Hudy, MIP, and many others. Yet Hudy and MIP keep coming to the top of most people's list. I have used Dynamite, Integy, Team Associated, etc... so I decided to try both Hudy speed tips and MIP drivers w/ handles.
The MIP's are much nicer than I thought they'd be ...its hard to tell from a photo, but they have a really nice weight to them, nice size and seem to be very well made in my opinion. I didn't want light aluminum handled tools ....these are perfect!! I think the amber handles kind of threw me, ...I've seen this coloring on cheap screw drivers. Yet the amber handles on these MIP drivers are not like the cheap screwdriver handles. These are much larger, thicker and just seem really well made.

I decided on the MIP's because so many people swear by them and they are a fraction of the cost of Hudy's sets. Yet the Hudy speed tips on the right in the photo are also super nice, heavy and seem very well made. Both the MIP and Hudy are like 1000% better than any of the other tools I've used.

I just ordered myself the 3pc MIP common hex set. oMG, so much better than those stupid L-angle hex wrenches. Especially the 1.5mm. The machining is excellent, superb fit. Worth every penny when it comes to your wrenching driver sanity. If I need any more tools in the future, I will try MIP first.
As a note, I have never used any of the generic brands of drivers so I don't know what quality those are, only hardware store hex wrench sets. MIPs for is much better.
