Turnigy tools
I got a HK flyer in the mail last week and after looking at it i noticed that Turnigy makes r/c tools, I was just wondering if anyone has ever used them? If they are any good ill definately be picking some up.
|
I remember I briefly looked at some of the reviews and I don't think they are very good.
Go for Bondhus. Strong, precision quality, and very reasonably priced. Lifetime warranty too. http://www.bondhus.com/Default.htm I own set 10687 and 20899 |
buy tools from company that makes tools not RC stuff. I prefer WERA.
|
+1 to that. IMO with RC branded tools you are just paying extra for a fancy alloy handle and the name stamped on it.
|
well i figured the turnigy tools were just rebranded tools from another manufacturer.
|
I've got a couple of them, they're not terrible, but not the one's to use to try and wrench out a stubborn screw, as they do round out the hex heads fairly easily.
|
If you are buying hex drivers go with thew losi ones. I can show you a 2mm hex driver that has taken apart at least 10 dozen cars that still looks new. I am a tool guy and 10 of thousands tied up in hand tools and these losi hex tools are some of the best made I have seen. I have used alot of the rc branded tools and they are the best, hands down.

Linc knows a good hard tool. He's constantly putting different tools in his hands. Trust what he says.
|
Integy hex drivers.
|
I also shelled out some money for one of the Bondhus hex drivers back when I was just starting (after stripping all the hex heads on the grub screws on my emaxx with the cheapo ebay drivers)...
Still damn good shape! |

I have no doubt that the Losi tools are solid, but I still say the Bondhus are the way to go. You can pay $30-40 for a set of Losi, or about half that for a set of Bondhus.
|
IMO: buy quality tools, not cheap ones from China. I just hate it when I haven't got quality tools, it's frustrating for me.
I'm using Integy (I know, most people don't like this company) hex drivers for about 2 years and I love them! They're awesome and still look like new :) |

Colour coding is convenient also |
I color code my drivers with a small section of nitro fuel tube on the shaft. Only beef I have with Bondhus is that the smaller sized drivers have tiny grips with no leverage.
