      +1 for the Aligns. I bought a fortunes worth of PB Swiss ones when I started and TBH they're crap.

      On the flip side I replaced them with Align ones and they're spot on, and had not one issue with them.

        Hudy are the way to go, been using mine for more years than I care to remember. They do seem expensive but I have never needed to replace them.

          Also MIP Thorp drivers - ridiculously expensive but I think they are made in the fires of Mordor

            I use the Align ones, make sure you remove the grub screw before use and thoroughly loc-tite it back in place.

            The Turnigy ones actually fit a lot better, and have been happy with them.

              I have two sets of hex drivers - one straight ended and one ball ended set. I use the straight ones where ever possible and only use the ball ended ones where I can't quite get on the bolt squarely. The straight ones engage much better in the bolts than ball ones, so give you longer bolt like and less rounding. But the ball ones do have their uses.

                Century do some good ones, been using mine for several years with no problem. I think fast lads have just had the latest version in, they also have different coloured handles for each size which helps.

                Or if you want ones to cover all sizes then these are good.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2305087940...84.m1423.l2649

                  just make sure there HSS and then they will last you forever cheap ones only cost you money in rounded bolts later on

                          Pretty amazed myself that Align can make a decent set of drivers cause they cant make the Screws to use with them for toffee . I have got a set of Hudy which i think are as good as any and a set of Shumacher ones which are also pretty good . Rob .

                              Align screws are a lot better than the Giant Cod HK450 ones that came with my 450MT. That was my first Align upgrade, not the last.
