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.
You know, I never thought about Tony's screws like that. I bet that's the reason my hex drivers are wearing out.
