This is quite possibly my favorite small tool in my whole box, it is handy and very easy to use! Plus it looks good!
Cutesy little trinket. Works good for a mini b. I’d love one with the right size to hit the shock nuts too. I haven’t really been able to use it much on the 1/10 cars though since it’s a bit too small to get a good grip
This is a great tool that’s been extremely handy to keep in my tool bag. It works for 4 of my 5 RCs. It is not long enough to use for the wheels on my stadium truck which have recessed wheel nuts (Schumacher wheels).
Neat idea, but a little too small - if you loose your grip, it's sized just right to go flying (like flicking a coin). A lightly longer one that would work on Stadium Truck wheels would be ideal.
I should have bought this a long time ago. It has the two most popular nut sizes and at times will save you from having to take apart stuff to get at a nut vs using a standard nut driver.
Reviewers generally rate this compact black thumb wrench highly for its convenience and fit in a tool bag. Praise centres on its handiness, ease of use, and the two common nut sizes (5.5mm and 7.0mm), which can avoid disassembly. Recurring criticisms focus on its small size: reviewers find it hard to grip, too short for recessed wheel nuts on some stadium trucks, and too small to reach shock nuts. One reviewer notes it works on mini buggies but struggles on 1/10 cars, and another reports it works on four of five of their RCs. Overall sentiment is positive, with reviewers suggesting a slightly longer version would be useful.
