picked up a 2 and 2.5mm wrench. Figured I would try them out. I can say I am impressed. I really like the difference size handles for the different size tips. The tips fit nice and tight in the screws, I have to tug a little on some of them to get the tool out!
Very happy so far. Nice work.

So far so good here too. The handles I think are the biggest plus, but its like having a great cake (the package) and the handles are the frosting.

No complaints on the tips. Personally I would have rather had a bigger handle on the 2mm size like the 2.5mm, and they should see about doing some ball tips too.

Anyone seen the the pliers or heard of a release date?
Are you referring to the bottom tool in your picture?

I have both of those tools if that is what he is referring too and they work well. It would have been if the 17mm wheel wrench could adjust its position for more torque though.

We sell the handles seperately, here's the big one. And we have ball tips too, 2.0 ball and 2.5 ball.
You can buy the ball wrenches with the handles as well, 2.0 and 2.5.

just saw that lol.

I'll have to give the ball tips a look as my trusty MIP one is getting long in the tooth.

Anyone use the turnbuckle wrenches? I had a losi one here that had 3 sizes (two on one side, 1 on the other) that decided it was time to just strip clean on the SCT410 turnbuckle.

I have the turnbuckle wrench and it works very well. I also have the Losi wrench. It is nice, but being aluminum it tended to round out a bit. The Tekno is steel so has held up better for me.

I'm sorry man but that is just not true lol. You get what you pay for with most of these tools. Grab yourself an MIP and a Hobbyking hex driver and tell me which one rounds out first.

Same, I love my Tekno shock tools! Just wasn't sure if he thought the bottom tool was a new tool that wasn't out yet, since he included the picture and mentioned pliers.

I am tempted to get some Tekno Hex drivers next though, I like my MIP drivers, but once I break one or one wears out, I am replacing with Tekno.... The grips on the Tekno drivers seem better.

yeah the grips to me are the reason to buy the tools as the tips are great, but the handles are on another level.
