if you dont need the lipo checker there is a standard kit without it for £29.99

That's a handsome kit there Ron, plus with the case fantastic value.

I have the Align hex set and the Align duel Phillips screwdriver/1.5mm hex, (very useful having two good gripped 1.5mm hex's for the old F/shaft).

Plus four types of pliers and the Ball link remover and voltage checker.

All in I paid twice what's advertised above, OK my flight tool case (which I've had for a while) is much larger and holds everything, spares, tools manuals etc, but for tools the above can't be beaten.

I've gone through quite a few hex drivers - they wear down...
I'm about to buy some more, and based on recent experience with a mates drivers, I can definitely recommend you buy Hudy hex drivers.

They are excellent!

Rob, Just a thought..why dont you get yourself a set with replacable bits? Bri...

I have a couple of Hudy hexes and they've out lasted all the rest

my allen keys get smaller and smaller. when they wear and start slipping i cut the end off with the dremmel and they are good as new.

LOL
I have... but the bits (even K&S bits) wear out a bit too quick for my liking - mind you, they do get used _a lot_

Hudy's use replaceable bits too. They aren't cheap, but hey, you get what you pay for...

When my hex drivers have stripped a hex head enough, I get my mates Hudy on it, and out it comes... bloody brilliant.

Just need to find time in a weekday to get down to my local supplier as he's not open weekends

Unless someone knows an online store selling them at a sensible price - they ain't cheap, but they are overpriced in a few places I've seen, compared to my local shop. Even ebay!
Cheers,
Rob

Bought a few sets of these for use at work. 9 months of use/abuse and besides loosing the odd one from a set they're still going strong. Way better than previous sets I've used at work which have had lifetimes measured in weeks on the smaller sizes.
