With Steve O’Donnell’s name on these tools, modelers are assured of quality and performance. Heat-treated stainless steel tips are precision ground for proper fit, while extra-long shanks are stepped for strength and permit easier access to hard-to-reach fasteners. Comfortable, molded handles won’t roll around on pit tables and the bright orange color lets modelers know exactly where to find their tools when they put them down. Available in a wide range of sizes and types, the tip size is conveniently laser-etched into the anodized handle inserts for easy identification.
