MIP Gen 2 Metric Hex Driver (1.3mm)
About this part
Same Iconic Look, Boosted Quality & Performance!
For over 30 years, MIP tools have been the go-to gear for RC enthusiasts who demand the best. The iconic amber handles and rock-solid build have become synonymous with precision, performance, and passion. But even legends deserve an upgrade, and that's where the all-updated MIP Gen 2 tools come in!
MIP Gen 2 Drivers still feature their color-coded rings for instant identification but now boast laser-etched size markings that are clear, crisp, and impossible to miss. Plus, each Driver is now Black Oxide coated instead of Nickle Plated improving its lifespan and protecting it from scratches, corrosion, and the general wear and tear of RC life. Your MIP Driver will stay looking and performing like fresh for longer!
The MIP Gen 2 line is designed to create a cohesive look and feel across your entire tool collection. The subtle yet impactful design tweaks reinforce the iconic MIP identity, making it easier than ever to spot those legendary amber handles in your toolbox. It's not just about aesthetics, it's about building a sense of confidence and reliability that comes from knowing you're using the best.

- Angled tool head to be ergonomically more friendly when using the tool vs a straight cut.

I can't see how people say these are so great. I have a drawer full of stripped and broken ends. Mip over priced and overrated. Warranty out tools MIP!!!
MIP makes the best tools for rc. The quality is great.
Sturdy, good materials,an excellent tool, very fast shipping, a must have for every hobbyists.
You want the best, just get the MIP. I've had mine for years and still works like brand new (Sharp and accurate tips).
MIP tools, the best there is. I would have no qualms rating them 5+ stars, but the price is high. I cannot recommend them to beginners, as the price is simply prohibitive. However, if you work on your cars more than you drive them and are willing to pay the price, these are absolutely the finest hex drivers out there.
Reviewers broadly praise the MIP Gen 2 hex driver's build quality, sharp accurate tips and durability, with several describing it as the best tool they have owned. The main criticism is price, which some find prohibitive, particularly for beginners. Durability is disputed: one reviewer reports tips lasting years, while another says a driver lasted only three to six months under heavy weekly use. One reviewer reports a shaft breaking under hard pressure and says the manufacturer replaced it, which was praised. One reviewer dismisses the tools as overpriced and overrated after stripped and broken screw ends. Reviews cover the 1.3mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm variants, with no clear variant-specific pattern.
