| Eds!! Vouch Eds, last R/C tools I ever bought. I got a 33 tool custom set up, everything I needed. Plus I've got my initials on all of em, so there's never any confusion, I've never lost any of these tools, people remember who to bring them back to. 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. |

| I agree 100% the handles make wrenching easier and the way they fit is exceptional I love them. |

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. - Chris |
