Can these be bought in a set? Individually they are a bit pricey.

I'd get those tektons. I have their 12 piece screwdriver set and I'm extremely happy with them. Literally just used one about 10 mins ago

Same here. Just got a Tekton regular screwdriver set last week and they are schaweeeeeet. I'm sure those hex drivers are fantastic and I may not be able to resist...


Also, just to throw out another option, the Picquic "Hex-Calibre" is a fantastic quality multi-bit driver with "straight" hex ends, Available in metric or inch:

So, the manufacturing process for the ball on the end "compresses" the steel of the hex somewhat?
I always thought the balls were just ground, but thinking about it I realize that would probably take too much time and they just forge it instead.

They're typically machined on a lathe.
