What size are the standard RCscrewZ tool size? I am getting a set of quality drivers and I need to know what size the screw heads are. I looked on their website, but couldn't find the size.

There are 3 you need - a 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm. These are the 3 L wrench sizes included in the RCscrewz kits I've bought. I've invested in a full set of MIP drivers (Thorp) that also includes a ball end 2.5mm and a 3mm. They have a lifetime regrind warranty (they should, they're expensive - bought one here and there until I got them all, like over 2 years).
SS socket heads are soft and while the screws are stronger than the stock phillips screws they're replacing, you can buy much better screws - black oxide alloy steel screws like Tony's Screws and others (Slapmafro, Hexcrews etc) sells. These screws are grade 10.9 or 12.9 depending on diameter
(stronger than SS) and the heads don't strip after repeated use cause they are harder than SS. They won't rust easily, but if you get them wet repeatedly and make no effort to blow them dry or WD40 them dry, eventually, you'll have some rust.

I think I will get a new screw set as well as the tools. I did strip a lot of heads and was wondering if I am a bad wrecher or what. Thanks for the help guys!
