About this part
The ProTek R/C "TruTorque SL" .050" Standard Hex Driver features a large 20mm diameter handle with machined relief holes and cross hatch knurling to reduce weight and provide a high grip surface.

Great tools. Just as nice as my mip with Exotek handles.
Works great with some of the screws on my Tlr 8ight x 2.0
I love this tool. I now have to get a full set. The handles are the best I have used and the hex is strong with a great tight fit. I highly recommend these!
UPDATE : Protek came through and sent me a replacement tip for free with a fairly quick response. The new one does fit, although not as snugly as the cheap one mentioned below. As for the length, if I grind a small flat spot on the replacement tip, it seems I'll be able to adjust the legth ORIGINAL : Driver did not fit the .050" screws on my SCX24. Bought a different one for $6 and it actually works, didn't roll when I set it down, and still had a replaceable hardened end. It also had a shorter tip and heavier handle which made it easier to hold and control. Will update if ProTek resolves this issue
Great driver. It's light weight with a large circumference handle that's easy to hold. The top spins freely so it is easy to place the top up in your hand and spin the device with your fingers. My only complaint is it rolls of my work bench. They should have put some grooves or aflat spots to prevent it from rolling.
Reviewers generally rate the TruTorque SL .050" hex driver highly, praising its handle comfort, light weight, freely spinning top, and strong, tight-fitting hex. One verified owner reported it works well on a TLR 8ight X 2.0 for some screws. Recurring criticisms include the handle rolling off work benches and the tip not fitting some .050" screws on an SCX24. One reviewer said the tip did not fit that model; ProTek sent a replacement tip, which fits less snugly and may need grinding to adjust length. That reviewer also bought a cheaper alternative that fit and had a shorter tip and heavier handle. Overall sentiment is positive, with fit issues mentioned in a single review.
