. I've been extremely happy with my set and I changed out some of my rounded Hudy tips with the Protek also. Mo, they are about the same length as MIP. I didn't measure though.

I must have four different brand tool sets in my cabinet and I'm currently using arrowmax.. These tools have incredible bling and they are solid.. I've been using mine for over a year and there still very usable.. Tips are in great shape and they've been torque using a tamiya non scratch pliers.. These tools get used believe me and they have been a solid purchase.. It's not as common so other take a 2nd glance wondering what brand..

I know protek had soft tips bought a few when they first came out = junk.. Glad they updated..

I've got 2.5 years of wrenching on my hudy set. My brother and I share a set and maintain 8 different units with them so they get used. I have never snapped, stripped or popped out a set screw on my drivers. I have finally nubbed down the tip on my 2.0 as it was getting wore. Ground a half a mm off and it should last another season. I have snapped one 2.5 power driver hex on a engine plate screw do to being over tightened. I think the way you build a kit factors into tool life. Some guys go overboard torquing things and over using loctite which in the end strips/snapps tips and wrecks handles. Also if a screw is getting wore, toss it. My 2 cents.

I HATE MY ARROWMAX TOOLS. HATE HATE HATE. I have a set of Losi tools, Dynamite Tools and Aarowmax....... I had my Losi tools since they were released and with years of wrenchin, I have only broken the .50.
My AM tools, within the first few uses, I broke: .50, .63, .078 ball and, 093 ball. Since I paid all that money, I figured I can atlease used them as I have my Losi and Dyn tools (that dont break). I do not suggest anyone by the AM tools. My red handle Dyn tools have been the best and was the cheapest. They are just short.

I have a full set of eds tools. I bought them as a set and had them engraved with my name. No one at the track can borrow them and say it was theirs.
I have a bunch of hudy tools but don't buy them any more since one of my screwdrivers had the tip break off.

I just got the 25 piece buggy set and its amazing. The tool quality is a 10. The handles are lite. The tips are a nice long length. The Caps rotate in you palm. Very very sweet kit. Picked them up local for $189. That's $330 in hudy and like $275 in eds. Iv handled all 3 and the arrowmax are right on par.

A local had some protek's, kept rounding out screws. Went to the MIP and is good to go now. I have also had good luck with the old Thunder Tiger tools, dont know much about the newer ones. I have some that are probably around 8-10 years old that are still on the original tips.

DOnt personally own mip but I have a buddy who uses them and they seem to be the best I have seen or used. Also u r forgetting the exceed brand which is similiar to arrowmax and eds. I have a set of exceed tools and they seem to be holding up so far.
