1/16 tips

[ben]

Does anyone else have problems with snapping the 1/16 drivers? What make of tips do people think are the strongest?

no - I find the 2mm ones are crap and round out first


Ive got CML ones there not bad

The reason you are snapping them is because you are doing up things with it at an angle, which puts loads of pressure on them.

Ive still got my AE ones, im just waiting for them to wear out. My 1/16th one snapped when i was in a rush and angled it. Ill have a look at my other one, it's never broken, but the tip is moulded into the handle, cant remember the make.

The new associated ones are rubbish! Mine are made of cheese, I have had them about a year now and I have had to grind them back so many times (because they round off) that I already need a new 16th tip and my 0.50" lasted about 5 minutes

My old AE driver lasted 13 years before finally I snapped it.
