For two years I used crap screws, one set of dynamite drivers lasted the entire 2 years.
The last two years I've used Tony's Screws (12.9 grade steel, black oxide). I have went through two Hudy sets of drivers since then, and I'm on my 3rd set (set=1.5, 2.0, 2.5mm) currently (bought these used from mich and they are about shot as well)
Point being, Tony's screws are SO hard and tough that they chew through hex drivers. I know your next question, YES I'm making sure the hex driver is seated all the way in the screw, the drivers are not getting worn from misuse. They are getting worn from normal use and at an excellerated rate I might add.
Maybe you should go back and try Dynamite drivers again??....
Ive had my Dynamite drivers since I ran the LST.
Then I started using Tony's Screws when I bought my LSP way back when.
Now I have Tony's Screws in my ST-R since it was new in April....and Im still using my same Dynamite drivers from over two years ago with no problems
