GOFIRST has had very good luck with Tekton's L-key sets, specifically these guys. Haven't had a single one strip and we've really abused the ones for small (8-32 and 6-32) button heads). Also the folding case they are pictured with is the nicest one I've ever used for hex wrenches-- they never fall out, but they're also easy to pull out. I don't know how that black magic works but we have five sets of the imperial and three sets of the metric.

I don't see on there a staple gun-- I would highly recommend one. They make bumpers SO much easier. GOFIRST has one of these guys, but there are a lot that would work and ours needs crowned staples which can be a bit of a pain to find sometimes (another thing that makes bumpers easier for rookies is starting on them BEFORE your first tournament).
