Hudy tools are the dogs danglies!! Very Happy

If you can afford them go for them!!
My brother has got a set of the Ofna hex drivers and they appear to be holding up, but as I said before, you can't go wrong with Hudy stuff.

Ye, them set screws are too small. When my screws strip through, I enlarge the hole and tap it to accomodate a larger set screw.

I've been using these hex drivers and they work great. When the end gets a little rounded you just grind it off and have a fresh edge, the shafts are long enough for many re-grinds and they are cheap $ wise not quality and have a rotating cap on the end which makes it easier to start screws.

Wiha and Hudy are the two brands people have told me to use.
I ordered some Hudy tools and got the 4 hex wrenches from Dynamite. They seem very strong, and very handy.

I use the Dynamite wrenches, can't go wrong with them. They are real hard and won't strip, you will strip the screw before you strip the tool!

yea my 2.5mm one that i used for tightening up my buggy engine mount screws pusshed the set screw right out of the handle one day... the aluminum is pretty soft.. i had retightened it quite a bit over 6 months.. and when the set screw pushed out the one day i finally figured out why... they need modded with 2 set screws.. make where the shank goes in deeper, a new flat spot on the shaft, use 2 set screw holes

I'm with CRSMP5 - get the Losi tools. I have the metric set and it is so worth the price. You will not be disappointed!

I just bought a set of Integy. There very nice. If you brake a tip or bend or whatever, they can be replaced. Just my opinion , but I think they are a good buy.

I just bought the Losi set today and put in about 40 of the GetScrewed hex screws(awesome BTW) and I am very happy with the driver set. Very sturdy and made out of very hard metal. The only reason I went with this set is because it was the only one the LSH had in the sizes I wanted. I'm glad I got it now... even though they did cost $41 for 4 drivers.
