those Turnigy drivers are about $3 each. not exactly high dollar...
Don't know - I prefer the mantra "buy once, buy right". PB Swiss will definitely be cheaper in the long run, especially with a lifetime guarantee

I looked them up. Looks like they only sell L wrenches? I used the L shaped hex wrenches for years, but if I am gonna spend $35 to $50 on a set, I want real handles. MIP 's with proper handles - 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 will cost about the same ($40) and will cover every hex on a Arrma 1/8 rig, except for the pillow ball cup.
Or get the Turnigy, for $10 for the whole set. Then replace them in a year or two for another $10.
Be very careful with T-Handles as it's very easy to underestimate how much torque those wrenches apply to screws until it's to late and you've popped a head off.Hex wise they sell bits, drivers, ball drivers, L-handles and T-handles.
$5 a driver is a good price. Where can I get them? The only on-line vendor I saw was Amazon, they only had the L wrenches.

Bought Wera tools. Super happy! Longevity!!
get mip ,hands down best wrenches big handledAre there any concerns around using the ball head hex drivers such as the Bondhus you link above? I've read some things saying that they strip out the screw heads easier than the standard hex ends. I'm getting tired of the tiny allen wrenches and considering a new set of hex screwdrivers.
Yes, they are, but they are still pretty good. Does swiss tools make them with a 1/4" drive? The MIP 1/4" ones aren't that expensive.I just bought these-

I bought 1.5, 2, 2.5 in both normal and ball head. (don't like using balls to loosen tight unless I need to get into a weird angle)
No extra hardware requiredI bet I could wear this one out:

Welcome @gary123! Don't forget to introduce yourself in https://www.arrmaforum.com/forums/member-introduction/Hello, I am new here and this thread gave me good info… thanks
I'd suggest an inexpensive Digital Multimeter, too.
Harbor Freight has some decent ones that won't break the bank.
