I purchased a set and got around to trying them. They feel really good. I like how the tips are long and they are very sharp. The cap spinning in the hand works great. I have other tools that the head spins but these one spin with precision. You can feel the screw easily threading. Example, screwing into plastic and it bottoms out. I do wish they laser etched the caps with the size like the showed in the per-production ones. |

Holy crap! I was like a little kid in a candy store at Harbor Freight. I "needed" the magnetic trays, I have a LandCruiser with 37" tires and each time I dig into it I always need these and I seen with the Wraith I will be needing more. Got a precision plier set, nothing fancy but will work for the little stuff, set of precision screwdrivers, hook & pick set, micro flush cutter, razor knives, watchmakers hammer and a crap load of cable ties... should have gotten a tool box but did not see a small one

Ok I am a Little confused. The Hitec charger has a charge and balance feature on it and the batteries I just received had the 11.1 voltage on them but from what I read the LiPos have the full voltage until the end. The instructions I am reading says not to charge a fully charged battery. Ok, how do I know how much charge I have? Should I use the charge or the balance charge? I have 3S 2200mAh 50C batteries so the setting is 2.2 from what I understand. LiPo Charge or LiPo BALANCE 2.2A 11.1V (3S). 2.2A 11.1V (3S) With all the warnings about heat, etc. I am going to charge in the house using the LiPo approved bags I bought since it is well over 105 degrees in the garage here in Arizona. This is concerning to me since I need to be there whil charging. I feel like I am going to burn the house down! |

Nice, you'll love it. To answer your other question about charging (this is the wrong thread to ask), always balance charge your batterys, using the balance lead on battery/charger. And the nominal/storage voltage is 11.1v (3.7v x 3) and which you should keep your battery when not using it for extended periods of time. Fully charged is 12.6v (4.2v x 3), and yes the mah of the battery is the charge rate. All batterys should be charged at 1c unless it says 2c or 3c, ect. Example, If you see a battery that shows 2c and its a 2000mah, it can be charged at 4amps. |

So I got my set yesterday and immediately put them to use. Without a doubt these are some of the nicest hand tools I've ever used, period. The bearing cap spins well, however I wish they were shielded bearings rather than sealed so they spun a little easier. The handles have enough weight to spin for a while installing and removing screws. The tips themselves are beyond awesome, super sharp and a tight fit. They appear fairly hard as well but we'll see with time.

I ordered just the shank and 1/4 drive adapter in the 1.5mm and 2.0mm flavor Vanquish, as I use those the most. My 2.5mm and 3.0mm aren't even close to being stripped so they weren't worth replacing. I gotta say, the cuts on the tool end are beautiful!!! I'm looking forward to digging into my B1B this weekend and doing some work with these tools! |

I went similar and got the 2.0 and 2.5 tips to replace some existing pieces. I'll pick up a 1.5 tip as well, wasn't in stock when I ordered from RPP. Very nice pieces for sure. Longer than my current tips which will come in handy. |
