Just a heads up, anyone into r/c looking into these they are not quite good enough. I bought some for my electric screwdriver thinking these would be perfect especially being magnetic. The tolerances are not tight enough on the small hex sizes and they want to slip. :/

Yeah, I was considering these given the price... but after reading your comment, I looked closer at the Amazon comments and noticed a bunch of people complained about the same thing you complained about. I though this 3 Star comment summed it up fairly well:

When it first arrives, you feel pretty chuffed about your purchase: it's a nice looking kit. But you quickly learn your error in judgement, and fall back on that YGWYPF adage.
These things are brittle as ceramic, and at the same time, somehow as soft as if they were made of aluminium. Within a day, three tips shattered, and two rounded off to the point of uselessness with one use, driving a self-tapping screw through a doug fir 2x4.
These aren't the droids you're looking for. Yes, you'll spend 3x as much getting a better set, but you'll likely only need to buy them *once*. These are suitable for simple homeowner repairs...

HIGH-QUALITY HEX-BIT SET: Each screwdriver bit set piece in this set is made from durable S2 alloy steel, which reduces wear and tear and ensures longevity. This bit kit contains uncommon bits that will loosen tamperproof bits that regular screwdrivers can't unscrew.
VERSATILE TAMPERPROOF BIT SET: This versatile bit-driver set includes 8 unique bit ends, including slotted, Phillips, Pozidriv, Torq-Set, Tri-Wing, spanner, tamperproof hex, and tamperproof Torx.
PRECISION MACHINED BITS: Each piece in this screw bit set is an extra-long bit set is finely crafted and precisely machined for accurate size. The chamfered bit ends insert smoothly into fasteners and protect both the bits and the fasteners from damaged edges.
1/4-INCH HEX SHANK: Each security power bit in this hex drill-bit set measures 6" long and has a universal 1/4-inch hex shank. These bits are ideal for working with electronic appliances. Use this set wherever extra security is a must.
HEAVY-DUTY SECURITY BITS: Our security bit set can be used for any project, large or small. Use the bits to secure corresponding screws into wood, metal, or any material when extra security is needed. Get work done with confidence and speed!
Still looks like a nice product. However I have found that the ones with the larger hex shaft do not fit in the recessed hole in many appliances. Still looking for the all round shaft versions. Much harder to find and the stronger hex shaft is rarely needed.
Thanks a bunch! That's exactly what I was considering these for. I wish the MIP set went on sale
If you sign up for MIP's newsletter, they announce sales on their website from time to time. Also, following them on social media will help. I'm pretty sure you can apply coupons on Tower Hobbies/Horizon too.

Nice to know. Anyone into R/C should only use MIP tools, they are simply the best. Heck, even people into PC, 3D printer, airsoft, paintball, ect should have MIP. I have 2 complete MIP sets, spent over $1k on them.
Bought these[amazon.com] a couple weeks ago. Generic $9 10pc Metric & 10pc SAE magnetic. Only used once so can't give any reliable recommendation but they seem perfect for my uses.
