Default What allen wreches do you use?

Looking for a good allen wrench that doesn't strip out like the cheesey ones the truck comes with....I see the integy ones on eBay, but not sure if they are any good? Thinking maybe going with Snap-On or Kobolt....

The integy wrenches are great.

I own the complete set.
Just like any set though eventualy you will trouble with the tips. Integy sells replacement tips.

one thing i do with my allens after they strip out on the end is take the dremel and cut that part off, it works on the ones that come with the truck but yes, get a new set also... just something to keep them old allens around instead of tossing them after the end strips...

I bought some craftsmen ball ends and they are great, and if they do strip, back to sears for a free one.

Thunder tiger drives at amain hobby. They are flawless for $30. IF you get new tools you should consider a screw kit as well. Tony's screws are one of the best

I also like and use the integy wrenches. If you are looking for a good set, those are the ones to get.
