Better allen and phillip head screws

[buggybuster]

Is there anywhere I can get better screws to replace my stock ones wit, they strip after removing probably twice

Stick with The hex screws. Make sure you are using the right size. I would highly recommend getting a nice sex of hex keys!! But be patients and don't just rip on them.

I find that cheap tools strip screw heads a lot easier than good tools made out of really hard material that fit the hex's properly.

Regardless, if your overdoing it, your going to strip screws.

I use MIP powertool bits. They are really hard and machined well. All my screws are mcmaster.com's black coated screws. I try to not use anything less than 2.5 hex though. Even in places where 2mm button head or counter sunk screws go, I tend to replace with a 2.5mm cap head. Unless I absolutely can't.

If the material allows, I'll upgrade to 4mm thread bolts and use 2.5/3mm hex as much as I can as well.

I agree with Olds....most of the time stripped screws are the result of rounded or worn hex drivers. I can't speak for MIPs but I can recommend Team EDS tools. They are made from rolled spring steel and have precision ground heads unlike most of the hex wrenches that are out there that are made from die cast metal. EDS tools are about the same price as most of the die cast wrenches out there too so no reason not to.

I totally agree, a good tool is the key to a successful job.
