You might need a 'few'. lol.

Only kidding, they may be decent, but personally, I'm old school when it comes to tools, buy the best and buy once only (Hudy, Facom, Snap-on).

Yeah ur right, but.....

I sware by snap-on, tools for my real toolbox, but I can't justify spending that amount of cash on tools for a Rc car,

I mean snap on wouldent have anything close to that, and to buy those tools, hex drivers, sockets and wrench, screw drivers from the truck would be hundreds! Well might be cheaper for the guys in the USA

Don't think this tool would be a good everyday tool, but would for those unexpected problems, if your anythink like me I hardly ever take tools with me, only if I go to the tracks, one of those thing in the glove box would be handy, maby on a keyring?

Probably a bit cheaper, but it'd still cost a fortune. I usually go with SK for my automotive tools, they're close to snap on quality at about two-thirds the price.
For RC tools, I use Bondhus (hex tools) and Craftsman(screwdrivers, nut-drivers, and midget wrenches).
It's not quite as critical, but imo, it's worth it to have decent quality tools for RC. Cheap screw and hex drivers seem to strip out fasteners more easily.

Im with you, when it comes to the tools for home.
The one pictured is a tool id use on the go, especially when rock crawling and such. Ive lost a hex driver before cause I left it on a rock by accident and forgot it. So, I dont wanna drop to much money into a tool if its one I plan to use outdoors.
