The tool is pretty good once you know how to use it. I found that the handle kept spinning as I was trying to tighten hardware. I found that you have to twist the selector past the direction you intended to move for it to lock in and really torque down. The "click" option breaks away after a certain torque is applied. Now I have no issues with the handle. 10-10
This thing is garbage. The handle stripped out literally the first time I used it. The Allen bits round off with very little pressure. I'll be tossing this in the trash and using the case it came with for some tools that actually work
It’s been working well on my custom 1/18 crawler as well as my TRX4m’s that I’ve completely disassembled and reassembled for upgrading parts. You have to make sure the handle isn’t set to the “neutral” position while trying to tighten or loosen screws (as some reviewers seem to not understand). I do wish it had a .050” hex with it for the SCX24’s and some random screws in my custom build. I also have the similar Traxxas kit and don’t like that as much as this kit since the Traxxas handle doesn’t click like this EcoPower one thereby making it hard to know if I have the handle positioned correctly to loosen or tighten.
JUNK! The handle sucks, it allows the bits in the handle to spin,there for will NOT even loosen screws. I'm spinning the handle thinking it's loosening up the screw then I noticed the handle spinning but the tip isn't. The handle will NOT grip the tips. Total waste of money.
Works fantastic, adjustable bit hight,yup, well worth the coin!
Reviewers are divided on the EcoPower 19-Piece Metric RC Essential Tool Set. Several report the handle slipping or spinning without gripping the bit, so screws cannot be loosened, and some describe stripped drivers or Allen bits that round off quickly. Others say it works well once the selector is fully engaged, noting the handle must not be left in the neutral position and that the click mechanism helps confirm direction. Praise also covers the compact carrying case and the range of sizes. One reviewer requested a .050 hex bit, and one review was about a different seller's service and was off-topic. Reviews are mixed, with the handle mechanism the main point of disagreement.
