All my gun work I use HG tipped drivers. Grace USA makes some good ones and not terribly expensive and can be used on about anything.

mytmousemalibu (what a mouthful to say every time), I didn't mean full hollow point grinding. I am really trying to understand the point of buying higher end screwdrivers.
I do see the nicer ones have a black oxide tip, which I would think bite better than slippery chrome and have more precision?
When I get back out to Comufornia, will look at Opa's screwdriver's, as do recall one that looked exactly like the Grace hollow point. I just bet there is one, just really noticed the difference.

Charlie, that is what I thought. If you could get it apart, just bet one of your generations machinist could make a replacement. I helped with that on a Jaguar window regulator. Cog stripped out and since some good teeth left, used that to pattern the rest. Went back in the door, evaluated, and send back for final finish.
Yep, so defiantly after my experience and before they went down hill.
Not so Advanced Auto Parts apparently, by strangulation.
