MIP introduce metric & SAE nut drivers

MIP have introduced metric and SAE nut drivers sporting the company’s iconic orange amber handles. Both the metric and SAE drivers are available for pre-order now with the SAE tools only being made in case they find enough potential buyers, due to the decline of US standard hardware RC kits. The nut drivers will be made using heat-treated alloy steel tool tips with slim hex walls and deep bore to ensure they are usable even in the tightest of places. Laser engraving and coloured rings allow for easy identification while shorter lengths shanks minimise tool box space. Metric sizes available will be 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 7.0mm and 8.0mm while the planed SAE sizes include 3/16″, 1/14″ and 11/32″ tool. The wrenches will become available separately or as convenient combo package.
