They arrived a few days ago and this guy desperately needs some attention.

Great advice. I changed a few to cap head as well. Seemed to work better.I have 2 mm and 2.5 mm MIP drivers and love using them, but recently, the 2 mm seems to being doing more damage then good. I've even tried grinding off a bit of the tip in the hopes of a tighter fit, but still having issues with with some screws that are longer or have a tighter fit. It's the button head and flat head screws that are giving me the most problems. The last screw that stripped, was the one that holds the hinge pin brace to the chassis that's attached to the front bulk head. Those are in tight and it stripped almost immediately. Had to drill off the head than use vice grips to take out what was remaining. Same thing happened when trying to remove one of the screws that hold the hinge pin brace to the front of the bulk head on the rear. Gonna try grinding down some more in the hopes that I can save this driver. Changing as many screws as I can to cap heads which seem to give the driver a little more depth to bite into.

I emailed them with photos and what not, and their response was that the screws were the problem.I thought you could send em in to MIP and they'd regrind for you as part of the warranty. Might be worth checking into?

I just ground a bit of the end and it seems to be better now. Nothing lasts forever I guess, especially when you wrench as much as me'???Awwww damn! That isn't what I wanted to hear
