This is for those of you who haven't gotten a cordless electric screwdriver. Stop what you are doing and go to Home Depot and pick up this combo kit:

After getting some Axial 40 series bead locks and attempting to dismantle them by hand with a standard Allen wrench, I grew restless and very aggravated. I had a bad taste in my mouth and decided to throw the wheel in anger and frustration. But I remembered seeing those handy little cordless power screwdrivers with Allen wrench bits.

I went to Home Depot and picked up the above combo. There was another package with just the screwdriver but the battery wasn't removable and it came with a bright green Canvas bag for the same price. So I bought the combo with the removable battery and the handy power snips.

I charged it up and tried it out last night. I dismantle all 4 Bead locks in less than 10 minutes. Thats over 100 screws and pulling the tires off the rims. This made my life much easier!

I then decided to test out the snips on some older cardboard boxes I needed to can. I made confetti with these snips in no time. This thing cuts a straight and clean line. Its great for opening up those hard plastic packages and cutting just about anything. They even suggested cutting small wire meshes with it...

They come with a small single cell li-po roughly rated at 1500mah. So there's plenty of runtime. My next adventure is to figure out the charger and reconfigure it to be able to hook it up to my Hyperion... I'll contact BG on this lol.

Overall this was well worth the purchase.

I also picked up a set of metric Allen drivers from the hobby shop. they are Ofna brand. These! They are well built and seem to be tough so far. They got the Lincpimp stamp of approval. Only time will tell on how well they hold up to us and abuse. They look well built tho.
