Turnigy tools - RC-Monster Forums

I got a HK flyer in the mail last week and after looking at it i noticed that Turnigy makes r/c tools, I was just wondering if anyone has ever used them? If they are any good ill definately be picking some up.

I remember I briefly looked at some of the reviews and I don't think they are very good.

Go for Bondhus. Strong, precision quality, and very reasonably priced. Lifetime warranty too.

buy tools from company that makes tools not RC stuff. I prefer WERA.

+1 to that. IMO with RC branded tools you are just paying extra for a fancy alloy handle and the name stamped on it.

well i figured the turnigy tools were just rebranded tools from another manufacturer.

I've got a couple of them, they're not terrible, but not the one's to use to try and wrench out a stubborn screw, as they do round out the hex heads fairly easily.

If you are buying hex drivers go with thew losi ones. I can show you a 2mm hex driver that has taken apart at least 10 dozen cars that still looks new. I am a tool guy and 10 of thousands tied up in hand tools and these losi hex tools are some of the best made I have seen. I have used alot of the rc branded tools and they are the best, hands down.

Linc knows a good hard tool. He's constantly putting different tools in his hands. Trust what he says.

Integy hex drivers.

I also shelled out some money for one of the Bondhus hex drivers back when I was just starting (after stripping all the hex heads on the grub screws on my emaxx with the cheapo ebay drivers)...

Still damn good shape!

hmm, my 2mm is about do for a new tip, Its only been about a year....

I have no doubt that the Losi tools are solid, but I still say the Bondhus are the way to go. You can pay $30-40 for a set of Losi, or about half that for a set of Bondhus.

IMO: buy quality tools, not cheap ones from China. I just hate it when I haven't got quality tools, it's frustrating for me.

I'm using Integy (I know, most people don't like this company) hex drivers for about 2 years and I love them! They're awesome and still look like new :)

Colour coding is convenient also

I color code my drivers with a small section of nitro fuel tube on the shaft. Only beef I have with Bondhus is that the smaller sized drivers have tiny grips with no leverage.
