300bhp/ton Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ouch!! Do people really pay these sort of prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) You know, There are a good few that will pay this sort of money just cos it has an RC branding, And they think it looks good in there fold out pouch. And I personally hate this style of handle, Uncomfortable and remind me of cheap £1 screwdrivers.

Got to agree, you get no grip whatsoever on those types of handles, but they are made by MIP so some people will pay for them It's rather worrying times when this is classed as RC News though to be honest.

johninderby Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) My weapon of choice now is a Bosch compact drill/driver with a set of steel hex bits. Has torque settings that vary from not enough to drive in even small screws fully into plastic to a 10mm drill in steel.

yoodoo Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 EDS and Turnigy. EDS are good tools and Turnigy are cheap and cheerful but quiet hardy plus if you snap a hex driver they are buttons to replace. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hate the player babes, hate the game This is a new product distribution release article I spotted on the Schumacher racing site, I try to vary content etc etc rather than just looking on the usual (paid) news sites..... personally I have paid £50-60 for individual snap on ratchet drivers as they last, its all relative as I use therm for work...just as a rc racer/pro may use these...I think that's clearly the market they're aiming at, especially given Schumacher is the distributor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set of 10 Flank drive spanners when they were just out for £250 . That was about 30 years ago , they got nicked.. But that much money on those few MIP's is criminal.
