Large scale tools

[sleekone]

What’s everyone’s thought on high quality tools for large scale rc? MIP only goes to 3mm. Looking for 4mm+ and sockets 11mm to work on the K8S...

PBswiss are good.. or Wera hex+

I think it becomes less crucial as you go up in hex size though.. so as long as the larger sizes are of at least reasonable quality you should be fine.
High quality sockets are also not as important as the finer hex's either... but its nice to have good quality tools.

There’s a few of these threads ?

Ya I found a ton of threads on tools - nothing specific on large scale - high quality tools...but I’m none too quick with these new com-put-er machines. ?
Links?

I used ebay and got the all Z-bits from 1.5 to 8mm, and nutsetters from 5-13mm along with the rapidaptor bitholding screwdriver from Wera for $75.

To me it was worth it because I had a hard time finding a set that had everything I was looking for. I really like their 1/4" ratchet but it cost $80 on ebay by itself. May pick it up in the future along with the 1/4" adapter for the bits for it, along with the sockets to take wheels off.
