Hudy Limited Edition 17-Piece Metric Tool Set w/Carrying Case
About this part
The Limited Edition tools feature super-lightweight CNC-machined Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum handles with a diamond pattern surface for unsurpassed grip. The handles include a black plastic cap press fit into the handle end. Optional color-coded plastic caps (violet, red, blue) are available to customize the tools to your specifications. The HUDY tips are hand-made from special world-renowned, top-secret, self-developed HUDY Spring Steel, individually precision-ground, sized and shaped for perfect fit with fasteners. A unique hardening process makes the tips ultra-durable, and they are replaceable if the tip should ever break.
The tool bag is the ideal size for carrying your RC tools and accessories. Super-strong stretchy Xylan holds the tools and will keep its stretchability for a long time. The inside walls feature a strong plastic sheet sewn for reinforcement, ensuring that even when the bag is fully loaded with tools it will not twist or bend. A heavy-duty lockable zipper is included, as well as a strong yet super-soft spongy handle for comfortable handling.

I love this set, prior to purchasing what I thought was an "Over Priced" Hudy set, I had puchased another well know brands driver set and let me just say the VERY FIRST time I used them the driver tip broke off in the head of my screw! I call the manufacture they said tough look but you "buy" a replacement tip! The remaining drivers in the set constantly striped my screwheads. After buying replacemnt screws to two of my rc's and my rc's braking because the screws couldn't be tighten with my set, I broke down and invested in this set. I must say the very first thing that caught my attention is how light they are. The tips all fit precisely and snuggly in the screwheads preventing stripping. The sizes are cleverly and clearly marked by silver bands on the handles. How many times have you been at the track and a fellow rc racer say " can I borrow your 2mm driver" and forgeting to get it back at the end of the race. Fret no more the handle has space to have your name engraved, personalizing your tools. I can't speak highly enough about this kit. The are reamers are priceless, the body reamer has measurements on it so you can make precise holes. This kit will pay for it self by the lack of repairs you will have to make on your kit because of using these tools. Best thing in my pit box!
I love using Hudy tools, they don't strip my screw on my kit. I have used other major brand name but the don't last too long of usage. I have couple set of Hudy tools for my on/off road kit. Well I don't need to talk about price as hudy user knows well that it is costly, but it really pay of itself in the long run.
This tool set is amazing. I actually enjoy getting to use these tools.... etc etc. I do have one complaint, nothing major but here it is. The shafts are locked into the handle with a set screw on a small flat section of shaft, like a pinion gear. However none of the tools in my set were assembled properly they were all locked down on the round section of the shaft. I learned this on the first use and had the shaft spin. I had to manually set every tool. Well I can't say all of them, because to set the screwdrivers (flat tips) on the small flat you will gain over an inch in length, and they will no longer fit in the case. For the premium quality tools with the premium price this is something that should not have been overlooked.
Three reviewers rate the Hudy Limited Edition 17-Piece Metric Tool Set five out of five. Two praise its resistance to stripping screw heads, with one noting the tips fit snugly, and one reviewer says the tools are light. One reviewer, who previously used another brand whose tips broke, values the durability and says the higher price is justified over time. A recurring complaint from one reviewer is that the shafts were clamped on the round section rather than the flat, causing them to spin and requiring manual adjustment; this also leaves flat-tip screwdrivers too long to fit the case. Reviewers do not disagree on overall quality, but the sample is small.

- + Durable compared with other brands
