Strongest Metal to for Hex Bits

Im designing and making my own Hex, Torx and Penta Bits to be made into custom socket sets, maybe potentially into my own small brand.

I want to do some materials science and break some batches of different potentially exotic metals.

Ill have them EDM cut to get the best accuracy and after selecting the strongest alloy ill do selections for coatings/surface protection if necessary.

Im doing up some product selection and design for a customer for an RA/Confined Space Rail system above a large rectangular tank, its a floatation tank used to bubble out metals to be made into concentrate to be smelted. (2m Wide, 100m Long, 10m deep) They want to be able to enter the tank at any point and extra them using a Type 3 SRL for emergencies but will normally use portable ladders.

Anchor points were initially suggested but when doing the rubber lining they need to access the entire inner wall so a rail is needed.

I have never used rail systems but Kattsafe Stealth Rail and Safetylink X-Rail seems appealing atm.

Has anyone used other rail systems and even installed them?
