First I had a negative initial impression when I saw how disproportionately long the ones over 5mm are. They are crazy, unnecessarily, inconvenient long. So I cut off that side of the holder and decided to keep my Bondhus sizes 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm in my bag because I don't need them as often.Then during real world use I realize the holder is pretty hard to use. It's hard to explain but I like the good old Bondhus better, maybe just because I'm used to it.That's not a great value so far, but I thought hey at least the smaller ones are great quality. Right?Within a few weeks I have broken the 3mm inside of a screw. See pic. Wow this is bad for future adjustments! Hope it's not me but even if not, some other poor guy is stuck with it. Now some background if you think I simply cranked it too hard. I have been adjusting these same type of 3mm screws for 9 years now. Literally thousands of times I've cranked on the same 3mm screws. Previously I mostly used Bondhus with some random brands mixed in for trial. I have slightly bent a couple, I have stripped a couple, but never has one snapped. That is unacceptably brittle, especially given twice the cost. Any small advantage to the shape is negated if they break so quickly.And then speaking of shape - I also stripped a brand new 3mm screw using these, thought it was a fluke but maybe not. I will say these screws seem to be soft and not the first time to strip. But doesn't that make it worse news when the tool breaks? Especially inside the screw which will make it a nightmare to deal with later.Other brands aren't perfect either which is why I'm always looking for something better. But these unfortunately are not the answer. Way too much money spent to learn the hard way.
