RE: best quality tools to work on vehicles?
I've had really expensive ratchets, at screwdriver size, they are all a bit 'fussy' after a few thousand screws. My ratchet screwdriver doesn't see much use these days because....
I use [link=http://www.blackanddecker.co.uk/powertools/productdetails/catno/KC460LN/]this (clicky)[/link] for all my RC stuff, it is absolutely awesome and costs like 40 bucks I guess. It charges quick, lasts forever and for its size it's got unbelievable torque, it pulled out blue threadlocked diff screws from my Savage flux diffs the other day with philips screws, not hex, that's quite a feat for any electric driver, I never expected it to pull it off. Those Hudy tips will slot right in, but you'll need a good set of bits, I have some german bits right now by KS tools, they're good but not fantastic, one of the philips heads is starting to wear. But at least the bits are cheap to replace. The important thing is I cut my time to disassemble and reassemble a Savage by 60% when I started using that driver.
