I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions I went to Axial's website and looked at their hex driver set. Metric Hex Driver Set Included are: AX20015 1.5MM HEX DRIVER AX20016 2.0MM HEX DRIVER AX20018 2.5MM BALL END HEX DRIVER AX20020 3.0MM BALL END HEX DRIVER AX20021 2.0MM BALL END HEX DRIVER Why are the 2.5MM, 3.0MM, and 2.0MM ball ended? Should I copy the list exactly as Axial's set, regular hex and ball end? Or, should I just buy the non-ball ended hexes like this set? EDS RACING PRODUCTS ONLINE STORE - RC TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES - EDS Allen Wrench Set - Metric -4 pcs. - (Powered by CubeCart) I'm leaning towards copying the Axial set exactly as listed because I own quite a few of their kits, but would like some input from members before I place an order at EDS. Thanks in advance. |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions it maybe the the smaller hex's would not be too strong if ball ended. snap one of those off in a screw head and it could be real hassle to sort out |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions the nice thing about the ball ends is you dont have to be directly straight putting the tool into the hex screw you can have the tool angled some and still be effective with out stripping it out |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions It would be nice to have both ball and standard, but I have never needed a 3mm that I can remember. But I have used standard sizes. I would get a set of metric and standard before I doubled up on metric. |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions Only time I can remember using the 3mm is on 1/5, 1/8, & my summit trans. I'd get these drivers 1.5mm 2.0mm 2.5mm 2.0mm ball end 2.5mm ball end .050" Extra 1.5mm & .050 tips If you can afford it, just get the 30 piece set. |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions In my tool box I have both balled end and straight. if any torqueing needs to be done I use the straight and if on an angle use the balled end. I have learned my leason on breaking the balled ends off in a screw. my .02 worth |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions I like these. If I had a 3.0mm it would end up at work as it is one of my most used tools. The rest would stay at home for R/Cs |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions Why are "RC" tools so expennsive? Cant you just buys the sizes you need at the hardware store?:?: |

Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions Ball ends are basically useless they tend to strip screws more with limited engagement ans they break more. If you can't get to a screw take sometime and remove a few items to do it right. I'd recommend: 1.5mm 2.0mm 2.5mm 1/16" (for pinions) 3/32" (for VP hub screws if you use those) |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions I can't stand ball ends, they "usually" strip. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for except for the Associated 1/4" hex set....complete wast of money (worn out after building my SC104x4). When the need for force I use straight & then switch to my mini cordless. |

Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions R/C Tools are not expensive. get into some special industrial tools, you'll think R/C tools are a steel. I have the Duratrax drivers and like them. The tips are HSS and replaceable. Plus a lot of hobby shops stock the drivers and replacement tips. |

Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions Mcmaster sells "ball point hex blades" cost $.88 to $1.06 for the sizes we use. I have just taken those and drilled a hole in the center of a 3/8 steel rod and brazed it together to make a T handle driver. Come in different lengths ad I have used mine for the last 7 years only on my second set. if you strip the ball end, cut it off and now you have a straight driver. Cheap enough to buy a few and really strong |
Re: I want to replicate Axial's hex driver set with EDS, but have questions I was wondering if anyone knows of a set of wrench's and nut driver's that have a full size handle like a regular screwdriver. The Intery set I have now is good but after an hour of turning I'm about done. |

I use Bondhaus sets all the time for work/RC, they work great. But IF you read their directions, they state to NOT use the ball end for anything but driving the fasteners. |
