Tamiya 300074085 RC Tool Kit 8 Pieces

If you build Tamiya RC cars then this is the perfect tool set. Fits the hardware in Tamiya kits perfectly. Only used it to build one car so far, so can’t say much about durability yet. For the price you get every tool you need at less than $30.00. As long as it’s durable then it will be a great value.

This set is an absolutely must for any Tamiya enthusiast. It has the basics you'll need for almost any kit whether its a static model or a RC car, and most importantly the screwdrivers are JIS style so they will work better with the provided hardware than a "regular" Philips head would. The allen keys and nut drivers are also very nice for those extra small parts usually found in Tamiya transmissions! The handle for it isn't the most ergonomic design ever, but it will do the job and has dual functionality as you can use it inline with the drivers or as T style mount. The case makes storing this super easy. I leave it on my modeling table basically all the time. Its a good value and would bundle nicely with any Tamiya purchase!

Works great for tamiya builds.

I was hesitant to get this since being outside of the US, it's quite expensive for what it seems to be. However, it is worth every cent. These are really high quality tools and the kit shines in 4 main areas: fit, magnetic tips, the handle and upgrades/rebuildsFit: As mentioned in other reviews, Tamiya uses Japanese Industrial Standard screws which are slightly different than regular Philips screws, but significant enough that you're always on the edge of stripping a screw, and since these are JIS, you don't have that problem. It sits secure and makes it much easier, and quicker, to fit everything.Magnetic tips: This may seem like a minor thing, since magnetic tips are quite common, but the magnets on these tools are quite strong, meaning it can easily pick up a screw and place it in position, or lift it out when unscrewing. This is especially handy for tight and awkward spaces...and if you have big hands.Handle: While the handle gives a great grip, for me it's the feedback it gives. If you use a moderate grip, you can feel when the screw is tightened just enough. The handle sort of slips slightly. Maybe it's just me, but I've found this incredibly useful once you get the feel for it.Upgrades/Rebuilds: It's one thing to get the screws in with a regular Philips screwdriver, it's a nerve-wracking story to get them out again when you (inevitably) want to do some upgrades, or a rebuild. Since the fit is so secure, it makes it super easy to remove the screws and lift them out (see comment above).Honestly, if you can afford it, get this set, you will NOT regret it. And if you can't afford it, save up for it, it really is worth it.

Awesome Quality

I ordered these as I have been building a few Tamiya kits and this kit has worked great. It has all tools needed for your R/C car and in particular the screwdriver fits perfect in all hardware in the Tamiya kits. The other nice feature it has an adapter piece so you can use for little items or if you need that extra grip it has that adapter piece as well. Great product!!!

I've been using this set for about a year now. The JIS cross point hold screws noticeably better than regular phillips screwdrivers. The hex drivers have held up well. The only one that rounded of I had to cut the tip off, but it is still going strong. The screw that rounded the tip eventually required a screw extractor, so not the fault of the tamiya tool. I tried to use the flat head as a prybar, and the tip broke off. The part wasn't stuck on *that* much, so I suspect the flathead was softer than intended. Otherwise I have cleaned off the mold flash on the handles, since it was noticeable.

Nice
