What tools do you use?

So who has a larger handle like a screw driver and a tip that won't round? Or am I asking for too much?

I did buy a small box set from Ofna...but was disappointed that some of the tips were bent! Too bad because the handles were PERFECT...sort of like a small Snap-On screwdriver handle (rubber coated too!). I returned them.

I am very tempted to buy this set when I am feeling rich. Supposedly the losi wrenches are really good too.

One more thing about the dynamites wrenches are the strong hex wrench itself. My friend has a integy set, and he just bought them and had snaped the 1.5mm hex head off the driver. It might have been a flaw but I have had my wrenches for about 3 years now and none of them have yet to show ware or signs of brokenness. Though one of my wrenches(small 1.5mm wrench) has a bent shaft but that is becuase i using it incorrectly.

I have two Integy wrenches (the ones that fit a Revo) and so far they have been great. I have had bad experience with their parts so I was quite cautious before buying their tools, but they are top notch. I have been using them for over a year now probably and they still work flawlessly.

I personally use Integy. I LOVE them. I have the Pro Grip with the Titanium Nitride coated shafts. I liked my metric set so much I bought the SAE set, even though I don't really need them, and I bought the screw driver set.

I use the Ofna hex wrench set and a Bosch Pocket Driver from Home depot. I've never had a problem with the wrenches and the Bosch is great! No more tired hands. It comes with two Lithium Ion batterys, charger, an LED light and it has a clutch. I feel like someone from a Nascar pit crew, I can tear down a truck in minutes!

i use the losi hex set. VERY nice set and i have not broken one in about the 6 months that i have had them. nor have i stripped anything while using them. the tips are very strong and do not get worn down.

id stay away from dynamite. i had a set and i got tired of stripping screws.

maybe i had an older set? idk.

So many choices to choose from. I wonder what the monster uses???

Thorp - been using them for 4 yrs, no visible wear onthe tips. I specifically got them because of the screwdriver type handles.

I have a phillips set of the alum handled ones (I think they're Dyn) and don't really care for them, tips are solid, just don't care for the alum hollow handles. Their balance just feels wrong.

For loads of work, I bought a B&D 3.6v Drill - I can have my 4.6SS SAV apart in 5 min and this is taking care to segregate the fastners. Came with a ton of driving tips, just had to add a few metric ones from my gunsmithing tools.

Thanks,
Bosch and Thorp here I come. :)

Many of you know I work at my LHS... I ALWAYS reccommend the Team Associated hex driver set:

We use those in the store and I use them at home. So far I have yet to replace a tip, although my 5/64" (2mm) tip is wearing a bit... But that's also the driver I use the most (and have been for over a year).
Prior to this set I used Duratrax ones, and went through a new tip on each driver before getting the Associated set. However, I do occasionally use the Duratrax 2.5mm ball driver for tightening up hard-to-reach screws (3mm cap, 4mm countersunk, and 4mm button head screws).

Every wrench in the Associated set can be taken advantage of:
0.050" - set screws on MIP CVDs
1/16" - Robinson Racing pinion set screws, Losi/Associated screws
5/64" / 2mm - any metric RC
3/32" - Losi/Associated/XTM
1.5mm - any metric RC
2.5mm - any metric RC
3mm - 4mm cap screws, 5mm button head or countersunk screws on engine mounts

I have the losi ones they have been great for me.
