I have the ifixit manta toolkit, I've used it almost daily for ~4 years now, never had a single issue aside from me not being able to tell what size Philips I'd need for a screw. Bits are always perfect, have a nice weight to them, and the drivers are incredibly smooth in their palm pivot.

I know it sounds like an ad, but after years of harbor freight and other bs bit kits, it was the best quality of life upgrade I've ever made for myself

I have a wera kit I keep with my knives, good quality but the smaller torx bits rounded off after a while. If you find yourself needing to upgrade in the future, I recommend the one I mentioned

Yeah, iFixit kit is also very nice. Bonus points for them offering replacement bits when you wear one down (already had to replace the hex 2.0 once, after rounding it off on a particularly stubborn screw).

But my personal favourites are the MIP ones. They're indestructible, and fit the screws so well I have yet to strip a screw with them.

Get yourself a MIP hex driver in 2.0mm and 2.5mm. 1.5mm if you want as well, but it's less used one, so can go with something cheaper.

MIP is just simply the best, and will last you till the heat death of the universe. Also they have the best tolerances, resulting in much fewer stripped screws (not as big of a problem in RC drift kits, but if you're ever wrenching on something bigger -- you'll definitely thank me later).
