I got these, cheap worldwide shipping. Had a stripped hex screw that I thought i would never get out, got these and it came out straight away - that thing was in there so tight you could see the wrench bending under the torque, it didnt snap or stay bent / twisted.

Very nice quality, would be nice if the handles were a bit bigger but that's just because I have lurch hands :lol:

There is a thread here with more suggestions and info:

I know I am probably going on about this, but Integy has got some excellent pricing on their tools. If you can stand to wait about 3 weeks, they have good quality for low $. Create an account with them and this tool set goes down to $18.

I would add a 2.0mm to the order along with this set though. I have a few of these wrenches and I have never had any problems out of them. Tight fit helps get out stubborn screws.
Their lexan body reamers work wonderfully.


Or go all out for $120.

My tool set is a bit hodge-podge, but I have three major brands, Duratrax Ultimate, AE FT, and Dynamite pro, and I would recommend any of those brands, they are all very good, and not too expensive. However, I have heard good things about the Integy tools, and that all-in-one set sure is nice. Almost makes me want to get it and sell off my other stuff.
