kawawaski636 tool sets you can look into integy driver sets in metric and standard,with hardened tips and dynamite sets are good too most have aluminum handles that are anodized and or knurled , also you can look into a 1/4 in cordless screwdriver too with adjustable torque settings and that saves time , needle nose pliers, nut driver set ,also a dremel set is great to you will be adding on little by little ok

Don't waste your money on the Harbor Freight T handle hex drivers. My 1.5mm is already rounding off on the end and it's only been used a few times. A good set of T handle drivers should be a must.

I've had Integy hex drivers since 1995. I never could afford a complete set and race at the same time back then. The three drivers I had bought, back in the day, get used all the time; no replacement tips were ever needed. Just a couple of months ago I got a complete Integy hex driver set (C22301) that I have always wanted. I couldn't be happier. Some people like MIP drivers for their RCs. Integy had the right price I needed.

dynamite tools, they have everything and they last a very long time.

MIP, very good tools for r/c. Might be on the expensive side, but they are very good.
