I've always used HUDY tools. But there are others from the likes of Arrowmax , EDS , AE and fastrax etc. Your own personal preference really.

I would imagine it is like most things; you get what you pay for. I personally like EDS and have them for my most commonly used hex drivers. I also have some cheap Dynamite ones for my less used ones and for nut drivers. Hudy look very nice but not cheap!!

I've used Hudy, EDS, Fastrax... all much of a muchness, the more expensive ones like Hudy might last a smidge longer than EDS which might in turn last a bit longer than Fastrax. Currently using EDS ones without an issue so far...

The first tools I bought were Ansmann and to be honest they were awful. They rusted and rounded off in under 3 months. I then bought Arrowmax and had two snap the tips off so I'd steer clear of those as well.

I now have a mixture of Hudy and EDS and both are very good. As the EDS are slightly cheaper and more or less as good then I would probably recommend those.

Hi Richard, I think you might have been unlucky with the Arrowmax tools. They use the same tips as EDS, it's just the handles that are different colours.
