Good hex driver set?

[xsavage3148]

I need a new set. my associated set sucks. What are you guys using?

 

[AllanQ]

I have a set of integy hex drivers. 30 dollars and they are not bad. the only complaint I have with them, and i think it is minor, are the handles. When my hands get greasy and sweaty, it is difficult to get a good grip because the handles are smooth.

I love these, got a great grip and a good price.

xsavage, i have the sportwerks set of 4 & it rocks. got it at savagecentral.com, (my lhs)for 29bucks. it has the 4 hexes that you will need, tips are replaceable & the handles rock; they are knurled aluminum for good grip and the butt ends rotate so when you are wrenching down, the end turns in your hand, independent of the handle, you would love it. hopefully my photo attachment works for ya.

These are a nice starter kit and cheap too. But the handles break after a whille. My son has them in his tool box.

 

[dvinesquirrel]

what do you think about these. they ratchet and you can put them in a drill to make things easier on yourself

I have some Wiha ball end hexes. Bought them thru McMaster-Carr for under $20. I also have a set of Snap-On L handle allen keys I use mostly,

Usually break the screws loose with the Snap-on set then wheel them out with the Wiha's. The handles are a little small to put any torque to them. If you are interested, I'll look for links later.

Associated Factory Team wrenches are what I have and they are very nice. I have the hex wrenches and the nut drivers and I have only broken the tip on one wrench in 2 years.

 

[RangerRock]

These are the sets that I use.

I have been using them almost a year now, tips still look brand new and the handles are great. Replaceable tips also if needed...

I just picked up a set of EDS Hex drivers. They seem to be pretty solid you can check them out at www.Edsracingproducts.com

 

[Larsenracing]

I as well have the full set of Integy (SAE/Metric) Hex drivers and love them. The shafts are Ti-Ni and last forever. I have only replaced one and it was a .05" and I snapped the tip off using it as a pry bar (Derrr).

 

[MTBikerTim]

I have played with the losi, eds, hard, hudy and a few others as well. My favourite it probably the alloy handled hudy's. The guys at the shop think the hard tools are bomb proof but they are more difficult to grip. The eds tools are pretty good too.

snap on is what i use lifetime warrenty but i have access to them as I'm an auto tech

I use the same and I am happy with them. I use some Craftsman T's for the really tough ones though.

are the tool heads the same with the knurled Huddy and the profiTool Huddy?

Where's the best place to order them?

There are many places to order Hudy. I prefer AMain for all of my RC orders.

Thanks. I'm starting to see that amainhobbies.com has a lot of what I've been wanting.

The only thing is that I only see three of the profiTOOL types offered by them.

 

[Shanty]

I have to favorite brands when it comes to hex drivers, Dynamite and Losi. These are the ones I am using in my tool box.

Dynamite:

and

Losi:

For the price, the second link to the dynamite hex drivers are the best bang for you buck, great set for cheap. The other dynamite set and the losi ones come with a nice case also.

 

[Adam1973]

I've got a Hudy (plastic handle allen wrench) and EDS knarled alloy handle allen wrenchs, both are great. I also use MTB/cycling Park tools as well.

i had a huge order when i first bought my x as i grabbed everything i would need "tools,fuel,glow plug ignitor" etc.... so i went cheap and just grabbed the hobbico set and they do the trick but definately aren't for any "heavy duty" use lol

 

[jester296]

I just bought this set haven't needed to use it much yet but it seems nice its a little pricy but i think its worth it.

i use snap-on tools hexes cant beat a lifetime warrenty

 

[f1n3sse]

i use the dynamite set. 15 bucks shipped work great

 

[Larsenracing]

Man I have a few of the Losi ones and love them. They are very high quality and a very good grip for getting those stuborn nuts, screws out. Also TiNi shafts for long life.

I've got a Hudy (plastic handle allen wrench) and EDS knarled alloy handle allen wrenchs, both are great. I also use MTB/cycling Park tools as well.

I use a set of t-handles from pedro's, well the 2 and 2.5mm t handles, I also use a park tools Fold out hex set, I am a cycle mechanic/tech by trade and I have had this tool for around 6 Yarss, and the only 'wear' is on the 5 and 6mm (most common on a bike) and all it is is the dark (almost blueing) coating has come off, but they still engage sweetly and don't round anything off. It wasn't cheap, but it's good tool quality stell, so lasts. I'm not a fan of ball-heads, as I find they are more prone to rounding off easier.

We just got a new Dynamite driver in the shop this week and I have to say its actually a good surprise. When I got to try it out I thought it would be a hassle, but it did the job well.
