Tried a few others but the Hudy tools are super strong and last. http://www.amainhobbies.com/index.ph...filter_mfr=141 |

I have this Team Losi wrench. I like it b/c you can put the bits into an electric screw driver. Plus its only 1 tool you have to have instead of 8 different ones. http://www.losi.com/Products/Feature...odId=LOSA99120 |

I like the integy set, they were $35 from my lhs. Haven't rounded one off or broke one in the two years I've had them.

I knew a guy names Alan a while ago. Total tool. Try Allen, it'll help with your searching.  |

Also be aware that "Allen" is a brand name that has been associated to hex keys or hex drivers. The Allen brand is also now owned by Armstrong tools. This falls in the same generic terms as asking what's the best Crescent wrench, where Crescent is a brand of adjustable wrenches. How often have you heard someone ask for a Kleenex when they want a facial tissue? But back to the intent of the question, any of the hardened precision ground tipped hex drivers are good to have in any R/C tool box for set screws and general assembly tasks. For out in the field repairs its nice to carry a folding set of hex keys like the Eklind brand sets. Small enough to carry in a pocket and have all the sizes you need without having to dig for the right one. |

Integy hex wrenches are good for the price. The only one I have broke is the 1.5mm. I assume that a pinion set screw does not need 200 ft. lbs. of torque..... |

I use integy's no issues yet, been using them for a while now, I got them used from my brother, no rounded over edges or stripped heads.
