it is a very worthwhile investment. 3.5mm, 4mm, and 5mm wrenches are very hard to find.
I have one truck with 6mm turnbuckles, but i DO have a craftsman wrench that fits that
so, yes its very handy to have all 3 sizes in one wrench
loc-tite goes a very long way towards keeping problens like you had away.
HPI savage is a loc-tite baby just like the hardtail custom motorcycle i ride. best to keep the blue-goo handy at all times

Am now looking at Spectrum DX4C/Sr410($99) and will...
Recieved these yesterday for turnbuckles. 3.5, 4 and 5mm slots. think i paid $7 a piece for them. its a very nice tool and will come in useful since the turnbuckles on all my RC are 5mm
