Hex Drivers?

[Bananaclip]

Guys I am sick of stripping hex's and hurting my fingers. I am more than ready to purchase a set of hex drivers. What do you recommend? I am working on axial 2.2 based rigs. I dont want to spend a ton just need a good set of drivers. Also links or sights would be great thanks?

I like Wiha myself. The handles are a bit small, but the tips are very good and they are certainly priced right.

If money is no object Hudy is the way to go.

I have had these for quite some time now and really like them:

I agree on the integy drivers. The tips are great. I broke a 1/16th tip, (my fault) easy and cheap to replace. I had them for way over a year and the rest don't even show wear.

I have the Associated set. I like them over the Integy as the hexes are longer. If I round one out, I can cut it square and I am good to go. Like the integy's, the tips are also easy to change and replace.

I use snap on ones,they are great,plus you can buy the blades seperate and use then in a powered tool, break them and still life time free replacement

I like the MIP ones. They have the best tips that I have found and MIP can regrind them for you, if they ever wear out.

Try these I've used them a bunch and they're sturdy for the price, if the tiny hex bolts strip use the mini torx as a trusty backup and if the bits strip out another set is a whole 7 doll hairs.

ive tried these before i bought a real set of hobby/ rc hexdrivers and all i have to say is that you get what you pay for. the freight harbor ones can be used in a emergency but dont expect to strip out or round of the tips on these.

personally i use the dynamite hex drivers. i got them for free so the price was perfect the pink anadized aluminum handles look a little fruity though, who am i kidding?, they look really fruity. when these eventually break i'll probabbly get myself a more manly set. the associated ones look promising, the color coding is a must imo. at the moment im only using 3 different drivers (1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm) and having to go through all three before i find the one i need is getting a little annoying

lol
part of the deal w/ me getting the drivers and reamer for free was to not remove the anodizing

[run2jeepn]

I just bought these and love them. There color coded on the ends for easy reading.

I use only Hudy tools... They are top notch. I've tried them all, and I like Hudy the best...

dude! is that adjustable torque feature used in any other hex driver set?

i dont know about that purple handle though
*this from the guy that owns pink hex drivers

I use EDS tools and I have never been happier with a set of tool as I am with these, they have spring steel tips.

here is a link:

I got the Big tool assortment you get to pick 25 tools and it comes in a embrodered tool pouch, and you can get your name engaved on them (this costs alittle extra) but it was well worth the money these tools are awsome.

and his prices on single tools or replacement tips is really reasonable.

thanks

[steverb]

its the only one i now of. but it dose come with all the size hex keys3.0, 2.5, 2.0 & 1.5 for your rc.

at least the handles not pink.
