Tool question which power driver for hexes
which hand held drill are you guys running?
Im sick of spending half my life wrenching on my hand held hexes.
Im getting a set of MIP hexes for a power tool - but I dont know which one to get.
Ive heard you want a low speed one so you dont over heat the plastic

I've been using this one for a little over a yr and have charged it only 3 times in spite of heavy use. I took my Emaxx almost completely apart to upgrade bulks, axles, centers and trans and put it back together. I switched to hexheads at the same time and couldn't be happier with the power driver. Wally World it was less than $40. Does not overheat plastic -

Here is the high end - has adjustable clutch and 2 batts - about twice the B&D -

I've been happy with teh B&D, my only complaint is my hex drivers, the hardened Ofnas I have came crooked!

I'm looking at these two, which one is better? I like the price, 40$ isn't bad but I wouldn't want to go beyond that because i'm on a budget,
Having a clutch on these means that you can torque the screws right?? Looks like the skill one doesn't have one, but thats ok because I can always hand tighted the screws.

I use the skil one you posted, great tool and the battery keeps the charge.
I never tighten all the way, that way I can hand tighten the same every time. I found the clutch ones settings to0 always be above or below what I would need.
I really mostly use it for taking screws out, quick repairs at track.

I've been using this thing for about 6 months now. Tons of features, very durable and locking mechanism prevents gears from stripping. Good warranty too. Check out the price!

I use this one, it works great and for had a great price also! Only downside was that the bits it came with were standard and not metric like I needed. Oh well....
