mond Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 All my Arrowmax have rounded out. The EDS hex bits I got are so much better quality. Even my DDM set has signs of wear through very little use but not the EDS ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I don't know, I have both sets of tips and one seems better than the other. Hudy are meant to be excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I got some cheap sets and used regularly without any probs. Never used the regularly mentioned branded ones so cant compare. I also have a Fastrax set and the cheaper sets are very similar in quality. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-RC-Helicopter-Car-4-in-1-Hex-Driver-Screw-Hexagon-Head-Screw-Tool-Set-/161164467551?hash=item2586269d5f:g:dAgAAOSwTA9X28Ns http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UN3F-4-in-1-Hex-Driver-Screw-Hexagon-Head-Screw-Tool-Set-for-RC-Helicopter-Car-/350948625403?hash=item51b62b0bfb:g:CSMAAOxyTjNSfsnE http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fastrax-Interchangable-Hex-Driver-Tools-Metric-FAST618-inc-1-5-2-0-2-5-3-0-mm-/231420778018?hash=item35e1c0d622:m:mIIpSn8dHebVNKm06N5fZkg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The arrow max and EDS hex bits I have are different lengths. The only similarities is the colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best investment ive made in RC tbh, dunno how youre losing them though? With a case, one comes put, one goes back in etc. then theres my set of 4 imperial drivers I dont use no mlre as the Losi went. Got a few Turnbuckle wrenches too. Its a great investment IMO. I didnt buy them all at once I couldnt afford to just add to them when i can. Just need somewhere who sells the plier set!

I had a set pretty much the same in 2009, but sold them when I got out of RC few years later. When i got back into RC in 2014, I was starting with a kit so knew id want good drivers so i bought a set of 4x hex drivers and it escalated from there really. So ive had most of the stuff in the pic around 2 years. I normally add a tool to an order if I need to bump the order up for free postage or to spend a certain amount etc. I even have the pit towel lol I had this: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/eds-racing-products-plier-set-with-carrybag/rc-car-products/384033 but sold it to someone on here before i used it. Id buy it back of them if I could lol. Cant find it in the UK. Rc Model Shop show it in stock but dont have it, and I dont think the distributor has stock!

chewbacca Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I love my Arrowmax set. So far I've only had to replace the 2mm tip, but that's the most used one so it's no surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have a full set of purple arrowmax in the toolbox and another set mixed with both eds and arrowmax, expensive yes maybe. but it's all too easy to have a flash car with nowt to back it up, took me a looooong time but well worth it. I normally just stick one onto a modelsport order, stockpiling spare tips now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly In My Soup Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Snap on, generally good quality, most stuffs warrantied too ( to a certain extent ) As I use them for work aswell theyve always been the first choice, and I've I don't know how much an rc specific set would be, probably a lot cheaper, but may not outlast the snap on stuff???

johninderby Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 For hex drivers Wiha make top quality sets but downside is for the RC sized metric and imperial sets it would run about 120 quid total. Still,if you want the best. Halfords Advanced are decent quality and they are often on special. I like them as they're good enough for what I use them for. Love Facom tools. Just bought a Facom stubby ratchet spanner set. Super quality with a lifetime guarantee and are what the Ferrari F1 team use. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbp200 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 +1 for Arrowmax. I've had mine for 3 years and no signs of wear yet. Not heavily used and I take care of them. They weren't too pricey either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
