The last time I checked EDS and Hudy were close enough in price to not matter...

[Sneetches]

I've been a believer in my MIPs ever since I got them a while back and have used them 10x the lifespan of any cheap drivers that I used at first, even stuck 2.5mm chassis screws on my 1/8 stuff have succumbed to them.

They are pretty close......one is good, the other is shite

Hudy, all the way.

I've had LURC and MIP's - both have been awesome.

[robert@castle]

I don't know what most tools are made from, but I know MIP tools are cut from drill bit blanks which is why they seem to last so much longer than anyone else.

And I'm eating my words.... I just rounded out my Hudy 2.0mm wrench. I got to say I think I did get more use out of it than most people do with other brands. But I am trying MIP this next round to compare. It is cheaper and the quality seems great so far.

MIP is the way to go. I've never seen ones last as long as them. Whatever they make them from is just better. They are costly but worth it in my opinion.

Team Losi makes a very good set of wrenches with high quality aluminum handles and I have never had to replace a tip after building about 50 kits.

They were great when you could get them. Im actually in the market for a new set. I wanted those and they are not available anymore. I currently have these...

They have been great. I use the tips in my power driver all the time. Replacement tips are about $8 each. My 2mm is no good anymore. trying to decide if I want to try the MIP power driver set. They will work in my dynamite magnetic handle that I absolutely love.

I have the black Dynamite hex set with the lightweight hollow handles, and I won't trade them for anything. The light weight and spinner ends make them extremely comfortable to use. I've had mine for a couple years and so far there's no noticeable wear on the tips.

No thanks, the shanks are often too short to reach into places without more disassembly. The handles are solid aluminum, therefore heavy and their rounded shape without knurling makes them difficult to get good torque on stuck screws.

RD Logics with long replaceable tips and hollow knurled handles have lasted years.

Hudy profiTOOL is killer.

Very nice spring metal, which gives great feel
Light weight plastic handle.
Best one for the price IMHO.
The only draw back is the lack of knurling when hands get shock oil on them. Still can use them just not as easily. I've fixed this by roughing them up a bit with some steel wool.

My 15 year old Hudy drivers are still good.

I’ve been using Arrowmax, and you couldn’t pay me to change... the new V2 tips are the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of using.... my local hobby shop has hudy, mip, racers edge, arrowmax and dynamite. He had a special on an entire kit, so I picked it up, and have been in love since
