I broke a dynamite .05" when I sneezed once... The jagged tool went right into my finger. Ever since then, I don't work on my cars when I'm having allergy issues.

I use Losi drivers.
I can't stand any drivers with round handles since they tend to roll around the pit table if it isn't level.

I also have a good old set of "Allen" keys I got at Lowes. L wrenches are a pain the rear sometimes but they are cheap and havn't failed yet.
I absolutely love the tip on my one Hudy driver (got it with my old M18), but I also absolutely hate the handle.

I got the EDS tool set, I was able to pick what tools I wanted, with my name on them, and get a nice case for them. The total price was only 180.00 shipped for some of the best R/C tools on the planet.
Which did you get?

Nice looking stuff. A bit excessive for me though. I've been using a set of losi metric allens for 6+ years. They have held up really well. I've ground a bit off the 2mm and 2.5mm to get the hard corners back, but it 6 years worth of use, that's pretty good.
I have one hudy wrench (close to 2.5mm, but standard for my aftershock engine mount bolts) and I really like it's length, but I don't care for the handle.
I think I'll get these soon though:

Makes it easier to use a drill.

How many tools did you get with your set? Did you order direct from EDS?
