Mip for metric and standard hex drivers.
Hudy 5.0/5.5 combo nut driver
Hudy arm reamers
Mip SAE power tool hex set
Ryobi power driver

Go easy with the power tools. Never use them with a new car. Only for rebuilds.

These are pretty nice, just a little short for 1/8 scale work. MIP/Thorp are prob
the best at any price but not everyone loves the handles.

Are you building a tool kit for 1/8 scale or 1/10?

I have these dynamite red handle, MIP and Arrow tool sets. Nothing has beat my Dynamite tool set. I have only broken 1 1/16 bit and it cost me $5 to replace it.. Been using them for 11 years and they have never let me down, so no one can talk me into buying another expensive set of tools.... Arrow was the worst Ive ever touched..

I am a user of tools everyday as a profession. I only buy snap-on tools predominately. I say the mip drivers and speed tips are as high of quality tool as anything i use daily. It is truly a one time investment. As far as anything else i would recommend other than drivers? No. All other tools i have...Losi, Dynamite, hudy.....just average.
