yep, often times i find myself filing off the tip of philips head screw drivers to make them fit to the screws i regulary use.

problem with cheap drivers is that they dont feel good while use, and the tips round off (even snap off) easily.

wera/wiha have been my favorite thus far for screw drivers, but wanted to grab a beta set.

same with scissors. i use readily available fiskars but lately most new ones are from china.

they dont feel the same. so i just sharpen my old USA ones.

that's often the case.

just use a file and flatten the tip.
