ProTek RC "TruTorque SL" 4-Piece Metric Nut Driver Set (5.0, 5.5, 7.0, 8.0mm)

[WickedFog]

Quick little review here guys.

My old nut driver set is just a cheapo Autozone set, that only goes up to 6mm. And the handles are so skinny, it's hard to get any torque with them.

So I grabbed a set of these off Amain.

They showed up today, and I gotta say, these are the nicest RC tools I've ever seen. The machine work, fit and finish is fantastic. To top it off, the grip is excellent, and they are super comfortable in my hand.

I'll be slowly replacing my tools with Protek stuff. I can't wait to use these

But dangit. I gotta redesign my whole tool caddy now!

Same issue with the cheap set i bought. Thanks for the review.

You forgot to add "this is not a paid promotion" at the bottom.

Shoot. I wish they'd send me tools to review. I promise I would be completely biased, and say ANYTHING they wanted me to if #AmainIsTheGreatest would ship them my way

Seriously though, if I could find a flaw in them I'd share it. I guess my only complaint would be the price. But after seeing the tools, I don't think they are overpriced. It's quality stuff, and MUCH cheaper than Hudy, which based on my experience, isn't nearly as nice.

They looked pretty nice, almost makes me wish I needed a set.

I know the feeling. If I didn't actually need these, I'd have been eyeballing them for the next few years wishing mine would disappear

Yeah, I'm definitely compensating with that bottle

But I have like 5 or 6 lids that need painted, and two of them are bathtubs.

These ProTek ones or our OG red Dynamite tools?

Those dynamites sure last a very long time though. Mine still look like new besides the faded handle

I'll keep those Dynamite ones. I thought about replacing them, but there's no reason to. But I will eventually be grabbing the Protek set. The handles are just WAY more comfortable and grippy. Plus the Protek ones are longer, which will come in handy. How many times have your Dynamite not been long enough?

Heck, I might have to see if the Dynamite bits will fit in Protek handles

That's why I have my longer fancy Arrowmaxx tools lol.

My Dynamite has always been long enough.

Also good for a bang!

It’s not the length of the fuse that matters, it’s the charge on the inside

Ooh, fancy. 20mm grips. Sheesh. Just how skinny were the Autozone things?

Like fat precision screwdrivers. There have been times I've had to put pliers on the handle to break a nut loose. Excuse this mess, but the handles with the grey, red, pink, yellow, purple, and blue tops in the right of my tool caddy are them.
