I have Wiha tools for non RC related stuff(they do say made in germany). They are not bad at all, but in no way comparable to MIP. And not the handles, I am talking about the tips. At best they are like dynamite. Wera (also german) is similar in quality to Wiha but a bit fancier looking.
For the axles I myself did not bend one. I ran one race weekend with the MIP diff/swing shafts axles, and its pretty new looking still. No signs of wear, but my Kyoshos also start showing wear after a month of racing (every week).
