Allen or Hex Drill

[jwalker497]

Does anyone make a small RC specific Drill that will accomodate allen/Hex heads? Im sick of using those allen wrenches.

Check this one out, even though I never recommend using power tools for screwing into plastic. https://www.ryobitools.com/power-too...ts/details/375

I have this. You can adjust the torque. Has adjustable clutch. Never stripped any plastic on the low settings.

I use a Bosch ps20. It's similar to the ryobi mentioned above. Any of those small screw guns with a 1/4" quick release and adjustable clutch will work just fine. You can even use a drill that has an adjustable clutch and use straight sections of hex keys. As they wear down just file or grind the tip off and good as new again.

I get mine from McMaster, they are way cheaper than anywhere else and are sold individually so you can buy only the ones you need. I have used them a lot over the past few years and other than ruining the tip off the 1.5mm one (I bought 2 figuring this would happen) the rest are all good as new.

Buy the "power" tips they are longer although not as long as some of the RC specific ones, hasn't been an issue for me so far.

I'll second the MIP speed torque bits, I recently bought a set and love them.

Those drills appear to large. I'm looking for something that can speed up removing small Allen or hex screws. I find the traditional Allen wrenched a major pain in the butt.

I don't need a drill perse I'm more looking for very small hex drill bits that will work with the small hex screws that come on most RCs.

Would something like this work? How small hex bits do I need?
