The ProTek R/C "TruTorque SL" Metric Hex Driver Set features large 20mm diameter handles with machined relief holes and cross hatch knurling to reduce weight and provide a high grip surface. The end of the handle features a rotating end cap that allows the tool to spin in your palm, maximizing comfort during long wrench sessions. Plus, the tip size is laser etched in not one - but the THREE different spots on the handle to help simplify identification.
TruTorque SL tools also feature proven HSS steel tips. These tips are precision cut to create an exceptional fit with the fastener, and will continue to hold their edge throughout repeated use. The 80mm long tip is secured in the handle with an M3 set screw, and a full range of replacement tips are available so they are easily replaced if needed.

We all start with the dynamite set and eventually.. they start stripping our screws and if you're still in the hobby... you'll start researching : )
The thing i like about these are the size and also the end of the handle spins which is my personal main Criteria why I choose this set.
Box: it's cool but i just toss them in my regular storage and use the case to hold other items (batteries).
The holes i believe are to make the tool lighter (they are light) but i do sometimes use the holes with another driver to make a T-handle depending on what i am working on.
They also look cooler than the MIPs.... cause you know.. that's what matters most :D
The pro's:
Nice little storage case to keep things safe and clean, although it is bigger than it has to be.
The handle is big enough and grippy enough for delicate work as well as heavy work. It is so good that you could easily over torque your hardware if not being careful.
Quite ergonomic, no fatigue in my old hands, even though the handle is just slightly larger than I would prefer. Just slightly.
The bit is very precise, and it held tiny little beadlock screws with ease.
They are very good looking, almost sexy. I mean, even the color is nice.
With the palm wheel, they roll in your hand very nicely once you give a few turns.
Did I say sexy? Yes, I did. These are high quality RC tools. Not for the brakes on your full size truck, but definitely for the dash board or stereo.
The con's:
THEY ROLL!
If you mistakenly set them down on the work bench, they roll.
When they roll, they may go as far as rolling off the bench.
When they roll off the bench, they may hit the ground!
If they hit the ground, they may hit with the bit side down.
If they hit with the bit side down, they may damage the tiny little 1.5mm tip, and then you need a new bit!
I really like these, and have driven only about 100 little screws.
I really wish that they did not roll...
Can you please update and offer a trade-in program or special pricing for current owners?
Yes, I know we should be careful, we could set them back into the protective case, but we are human, we are sometimes in a hurry. We sometimes want to clean or dry our beautiful tools before putting them away.
So, I knocked off 1 star for the rolling issue, and I'll have to be very careful with my tools, but in the meantime, I'll likely be using my far less expensive DU-BRO set so I don't have to be so careful.
p.s. it would also be nice if the bits would transfer to a standard 1/4" driver as well. ... because I do like the bits.
Thank you for reading so far if you did.
The first time i used the 1.5 the tip snapped clean off.
5 stars to Amain as they quickly sent me a replacement tip.
I ended up buying replacement tips for the others just it case.
AMain hobbies rushed out another 2.5mm hex to replace the one I got in the set. Great customer service! Thanks AMain Hobbies!
