Status: offline 		I bought a set of INTEGY wrenches about 10 months ago and they SUCK!! They are rounded out know and do not work good at all. I want a good set that will not round out or strip my screws but do not want to spend over 50.00.

I am talking about the wrench sets to remove and scew in the screws on the truggy, not the wheel nuts.

I know, I know. I just thought the wrenches might be ok. I knew everyone hated there hop up parts but not the tools. Guess I was wrong! count me in on another Integy hater!

Status: offline 		Yes the Integy ones suck..they tear up your hands and they round off to easy, I have a full set of Losi tools also, But in my opinion they are to short and their handles are just to small. I have a few Dynamite hexes, not bad but the handles are too small, I thought the Team Associated were just Thunder Tigers just re badged, I have had a few Xrays and a few sets of Huddy tools..good stuff..but pricey and small handles..I am going to try the Thunder Tiger next..Good price and they look nice..anyone have a set?

Status: offline 		IF u stripped out the integy's....No wrench will take ur abuse...screw's dont strip wrenches...User's Do.........u can mess them up by Not cleaning out the screw head..or trying to remove a Overly tight loctited screw with Just ur plain old wrench.......drill a hole in the wrench and use another 1 to make it a " T " handle...and make sure ur unscrewing level...if u cock the wrench too much 1 way its gonna round the head NO MATTER WHAT wrench it is....ive seen stripped out Hudy's....stripped out Integy's....the whole playin feild....it all depends on the user...I have Losi's...Mugen's...AND integy's...and IMO the integy's are JUST as good as the hudy's and mugen's....but at 1/2 the cost.

Status: offline 		I did not like the handles on the Integy's. I'm not that rough on my tools but I have had the tips round off a bit in 3 years of use. How are the Mugen tools..They look nice. I liked the way the Ofna set looked but the reviews were not good..

mugen's are nice...but not having a specific color...really pisses me off...diggin through 20 wrenches to find the right 1...I kno u can put color'd tape n all that jazz to identify them...but w/e...ive used the Integy's since Day 1...and the ONLY tip to snap was my 5/64...and i replaced it with another integy tip and its still alive to this day.....2+ years.....ive NEVER rounded a integy tip......the Ofna wrench with interchangable bits is nice...but they twist with too much load....they dont strip or snap...but arent the greatest...and the handle has a little wire to hold the bits that is kinda ghetto imo...if u arent careful u can bend that wire and the wrench is basically screw'd...I emailed OFNA about it and they kinda blew me off....w/e...i dont use that wrench anyways...all i use them for is my mini electiric drill..seeing as it has the quick bit attachments.

Status: offline 		a wrench is a wrench is a wrench...they all do the same job...plain and simple....its the user that boils it down to the Nitty Gritty...with color's and handles...claiming something is the BEST of the Best is pointless...and seeing as there the Most expensive...plays right into there little plan........Integy 7 peice set 50$.......Hudy 8 peice...114$.....Nuff said.
