Re: Durable small hex (etc) bits?

Re: Durable small hex (etc) bits?
Another vote for Wiha here. Great quality. My daily use "small drivers" set is a Wiha 26997 that I bought more than twenty years ago. Still perfect. Last year I treated myself to a bug set if

Re: Durable small hex (etc) bits?
Renee, That's a great recommendation - I have a screwdriver or two by Wiha and they're top notch. Thank you. I just ordered a set of those hexes and the price is actually surprisingly low. Radu.

Re: Durable small hex (etc) bits?

Re: Durable small hex (etc) bits?
Before you ruin any more bits or setscrews, get some Kroil. Best penetrating oil I've ever used, and I learned about it here or on the similar Tek group. I've used it to free things that I had given

Re: BNC Frequency Limit
The 'C' is "Not" a bayonet 'N'. It is much more like a giant BNC, with a much greater total distance between inner and outer contacts than any N type. (Within the mating parts at least.) Plus the
