Default Just get a new set of Align

Yes, the group I purchased too, at LHS are awesome.
& they are the four piece set from Align.

Very well made, quite sturdy, and they also look great.
Priced fairly.

Default Good hex driver set

+1 for Hudy.
In about 6 years of building, crashing and rebuilding, changing models, just one 1,5 tip replaced. Using 1,5 to 3 hex looking to buy those with ball end.

I've found also the Ansmann tool set prety good.

I have the snap on set and they are really nice. And if I do ever wear one out,life time warranty!,and the snap on guy comes to my shop every week. Buy one good set and never worry again. Well unless you loose it!

In my experience, this is never a good thing.

+1 for the Snap On set. I have 2 snap on sets and have yet to strip out 1. They are very precise.

From reading a number of different RC/hobby forums I think it's a tie between WIHA/Hudy/Snap-on/Thorp, you wouldn't be disappointed purchasing any of these tools.

I add my vote for MIP Thorp. They seem expensive but if you go and add all of the wrenches both metric and standard plus the two or 3 ball end versions they have to a cart it's only about 160 bucks give or take a few dollars.

I spent that much on the JR Heli toolkit I bought which worked fine but Thorp works better. I only wish they had a couple more wrenches in bigger sizes.
