Unfortunately, it&amp;#x27;s getting more difficult to find, or at least be certain of the quality of tools.  You can only really know that it&amp;#x27;s a good tool after getting a lot of use out of it.  But by then that particular tool may no longer be sold, or it may not be manufactured the same way, or even in the same factory.  So any verified reviews may be out of date.</text><parent_chain><item><author>isoskeles</author><text>I also find these very useful, but I have some that wore down and start stripping the screws.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d like to find a set that isn&amp;#x27;t prone to wear, unless that is simply a fact of life.
