| What hex drivers you using?
I’m looking for some decent metric hex Drivers 1.5, 2 and 2.5mm basically. I have a cheap duratrax tool set that I’ve already worn the tips out of them. Any suggestions? Thanks

I did the same with the black and red, plastic-handled Duratrax drivers. MIP is what I use and I have some from LockedUp RC. Losi and Associated also make good drivers. |

Has anyone used the wiha brand tools with precision handles? I know they make other nice tools and are made in Germany

| Re: What hex drivers you using? You want hobby grade tools. I know it sounds silly, but listen to us. Wiha makes nice tools, but they are a looser fit and can still strip screws.

MIP ftw. Worn out a couple of 1.5's from other brands but the MIP driver is still as new.

I've got a set of the team losi hex drivers with replaceable tips that I've had for around ten years. Never had one bad go yet. Although i don't replace the tips when they're worn. I take them to work and cut off about .050" with an endmill in the Bridgeport mill to get back where the hex isn't worn. Don't use a grinder to do it however, the heat softens the steel and your guaranteed a strip out then.

I ordered a set of these from eds. If I like them I'm gonna order another set of the ball end drivers also. With tax and shipping it came to $40 RC ALLEN WRENCH METRIC SET - 4 PCS |

I prefer the aluminum knurled handle and I like the longer ones so I went with them instead of mip

Hudy - They cost a little more but have really good fit and last a long time. You can purchase them from amain hobby. |

Dynamite has a set just like this now. I also have been using an additional dynamite set that holds all the drivers in the handle for the last 7yrs. No issues yet with either set. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk | |

| Re: What hex drivers you using? I have a set just like that but it's the duratrax brand and it's junk. I've rounded off 2 of the tips

I have 2 sets of snap-on drivers. Expensive yes but lifetime warranty and the guy comes to my shop every week so I can swap em out if they get worn. I have wiha precision Philips and they are the best I've ever owned. |

| Re: What hex drivers you using? I was looking at the wiha precision drivers. I have a couple L shape hex sets from them and they are awesome and don't show any wear from daily use at work
