I've been using EDS tools for the last 18 months that have have worked perfectly and show no tip wear. The only thing I don't like is the set screw can strip out the handle if you aren't careful. For my Serpent kit I picked up a complete set of EDS 1/4 drivers and those work just as well.

The MIPS sets are $12 per tool with the EDS as low as $6 individually or slightly more per set (weird!).

i used the eds, they are great but with how much wreching i do they wear out. I replaced the tips about every 4 months. so far im at 2 months and the mip look new so we shall see if they make it past 4 months to justify the cost
