Hi all,
I'm often running into the situation where, trying to remove to replace knobs on HP (and any number of brands) units, I need to use very small hex or other types of bits which get ruined very easily, sometimes on first use. These bits are from sources such as Amazon, where very good assortments and sets are easily available. The steel they use may not be of top notch quality.?

Is anyone aware of a source of hardened, extra-strength bits? Or maybe sets of drivers?

I am specifically asking for small bits typically needed for this kind of job. Impact-grade bits need not apply... At least I don't see an overlap in that Venn diagram.?

For instance, for the HP 6236B knobs, I apparently need H1.3 bits. All of my tougher sets (Harbor Freight, etc.) go as low as 1.5, but not smaller. I ruined my Amazon set's H1.3, then tried a couple other types (which I also ruined), and I'm afraid I'm at this point ruining the knob's set screw.?

Thank you,
Radu.?
