Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one
Croquette@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoA good balled hex driver is such a joy to use. Somewhat align it with the screw, and you can use it at weird angle.

I prefer to only use them when I can’t get alignment. They’re far more likely to round out the head in my experience, but they have their uses.

Maybe I didn’t use them enough yet, but I bought some Wiha balled hex driver and I haven’t stripped a screw yet, and I use cheap screws.
I also had to dismantle my 3d printer hot end with a lot of weirdly placed screws and it wasn’t even an issue.

Fair enough, I’m talking about big H5 construction screws, so a different use case maybe. Also it turns out when ARRMA uses too much threadlock on their axle set screws you can strip them really easily, and I needed more expensive special hex drivers with tught tolerances to work with them.
