Power Tools For RC Use
I recently bought a Power Tool for working on RC cars, cos I was getting a bit tired of undoing a million and one screws all the time.
Black & Decker AS36LN
I bought a Black & Decker 3.6V Lithium-Ion Cordless Screwdriver
The features I looked for was small, pistol grip, and torque adjustment. I especially needed to get it to low torque so as to not strip out plastic parts. The B&D even has a natty little light.
(You can even use it for putting flat pack wardrobes together… and bookshelves. But, remember to charge it before you take it racing…)
The tools I bought to use with it were the EDS Power Tool Tips Set, with the 2.0mm, 2.5mm hex drivers, and a couple of Philips drivers that I’ll use on all those Tamiya cross head screws.
I got them from MK Racing, but EDS are imported via Schumacher (part no ED500901) so your LHS should be able to get them.
Also, HUDY do a Set of Power Tool Tips, part no 190070.
Or, you can buy tools in singles rather than a set from either EDS or HUDY.
So if you are feeling lazy, use the power…
