We recognized that everyone has a different collection of tools in one another R/C pit box. We know you guys range from novice and experienced. As you build on into the hobby, the kit’s get more advanced. Some early stage kit’s have all Phillips type screws and they work pretty good. Some others have the hex, or Allen head type screws. Well this one is for you newbie’s out there. After you have been in the hobby for a while you can afford to get a good set of Allen head wrenches. Like these ones:
But, for you newbie’s that just went and raided your dad’s tool box and grabbed the multi Allen head wrench set, or you got these little bugger’s in a kit you bought. Either way, this tip is for you.
Take some nitro fuel silicone line and slip it for the “L” end of the wrench. Make it a piece about 1.5” long, or according to the size of wrench cut the appropriate amount of fuel tubing. Fuel tubing itself can come in different colors and thickness. You can even use automotive washer fluid hose tubing as well.
“Wrapping” the opposite business end of the Allen key will help give you a little extra grip, and more tightening and loosening power.
The more expensive tool sets are great, and work better. But, when you are just starting out or all you have is..... what you have, we know what it's like to sometimes make best of what you got.
