EDS vs Hudy tools

[JERRY2KONE]

There are very little subtle differences, but they all last about the same. Spring steel compared to hardened steel is just a bit softer. So instead of rounding your screws you will round the tools faster. I use hardened steel tipped tools with grade 12.9 steel screws and have very little problems. No matter what you use if you over tighten things you will destroy either the screws, the tools, or both. The only real benefit from one tool over another is the feel of the tool in your hand. Just keep a good supply of tips in your toolbox and treat your tools accordingly. As the tips get worn down just grind the tip length down a little bit revealing unused edges. Avoid using ball type allen tools unless it is a screw that is impossible to get to otherwise. I rarely use the ball type at all anymore. I have tools from several different manufacturers in the USA, Europe, and Asia and they all have their pros and cons, but they all do their job if treated properly.

While I cannot comment between the hudy or eds, I can say that the losi drivers are superior to dymanite and integy. All of my buddies have integy, and they are junk. The tips break off and the wear down quickly. I have had my losi drivers for about 2 years, and am still on the original tips. I had dynamite drivers prior to the losi drivers and they just wore out quickly...

so i agree with what a lot of you are saying. i currently have mostly associated hexes but also have a losi one and the losi one has held up much better with the TiNi coating. i have thought seriously about just getting all losi stuff but thats why i wanted to find out about Hudy and EDS first. my assoc. are great tools too but the 5/64 and 2.5mm get rounded edges faster than my losi has. i think my assoc. lasted about 6 months whereas my losi hasnt had to be replaced yet. so it sounds like the losi tools are as good as anything out there. anyone else have any input about the Hudy or EDS. a guy on ebay told me that once i use EDS i will never use another tool.
