Default Gaui hex driver set

I picked up the GAUI HEXAGON SCREW DRIVER SET (G-666168 $19.99) during my last parts order as my drivers were getting worn, and I saw that Gaui now has this available. My initial impression is that it is very well made, and sturdy. It also has alot more driver attachments than I thought it would, 12 total! It has bits for all of the screws that are on each of the gaui birds, from the 200 up to the X5. The bits are very well made, and initial fit tests are very good. Swapping bits is made easy with a small lever that is pressed to release the bit. also the bits can be entered at different lengths depending on your needs. This tool looks to be a great value, 20 bucks for essentailly 12 drivers. thats about $1.70 a driver. heck you could get two so you can have mating pairs for things like spindle shafts, etc and it would only be about $3.35 a driver then!! I will report after using it to do some fixes on all three of my birds and let you know how it is holding up. here are some pics.

loving mine. Have had mine for a month or so and has been terrific. The hex ends fit nicely
and seem to have good strength. The boys at the field are always trying to steal it , but i keep telling them.... you should've bought the GAUI

I would luv to see it have a 0.9mm hex and the phillips bits to include a size 1 and 2 but overall a very very very versatile and so far good quality tool
Being an auto elec, all day is spent with tools and this is one i'm very happy to have in collection.

does the X2 kit come with any tools?

My 255 kit did not have tools

In the 255 forum there is a x2 build thread

I think he shows what's in the box in the first pics

X2 comes with one .9mm L shaped hex wrench for the small stuff.. you should have everything else in your standard tool kit.

thanks guys. i unfortunately thought i'd be happy with a trex 250 w/ beastx, i just can't get it to feel right. So i bit the bullet and ordered a X2 today. Pretty psyched.
