However, I got an ignition wrench set up from Snap-On, came with a little soft case, sized 4-8 or 10mm, (Missing the 4.5 but I found a micro 4.5 craftsman that I use for just about everything) I can not express to you how nice it is to have small quality wrenches.

I also have a mac set of mini pliers and dikes and such... They're all spring loaded, they're killer, and stay sharp.

I did just buy an integy .050" for my micro crawler, and it's been fantastic. Cost me about six or seven bucks at my LHS

Only thing i want to add is, if you buy Team EDS stuff for fooooooks sake don't buy direct, they're useless.

I've been waiting over 1 year for some power tool tips.
In all fairness they have offered to refund me a couple of times, but still over 1 year to get a tool right and in stock is a joke.

EDS manufactures Hudy's tools and they are the exact same quality.

Go with EDS

PA39r sells them on ebay:

They fit great and since I have been using them I rarely ever strip a screw.
I agree 100% the handles make wrenching easier and the way they fit is exceptional I love them.

+2, I use the Eklind "spiders" to drop in my pocket, not great but decent for "out in the field" use.
As to Bondhus, I use the long handle "L" wrenches with the ball end. The ball end allows getting to a head from an angle to get things going, the short "L" does the torqueing.
You can get them from lots of supply places as well as online.

NOTE: Do NOT break free/final torque fasteners with the ball end, it's a good way to round the ball off.

I've been really happy w/ my Integy Ti-nitride set and I tend to be fairly picky w/ my tools. The only problem I've had is breaking the tip off of the 0.05" wrench but that was likely more due to my tendency to over-torque fasteners than any quality issue in the tool.

It looks like the Integy ProGrip set can be had for only $1 more - I'd get that set if it were my money.
