there is always something that cost more, but have near no difference in general use. when shit happens tho, that’s where they shine, im gonna guess the titanium one is hard to break, so 0 downtime is its advantage

Budget Wera are the Bondhus - still very high quality

But in general, I hate L-shaped hex. If you’re going for torque strength, get the T-handles:

Those are designed for the healthcare industry to service MRI machines (titanium so they don’t immediately stick to the magnets from ten feet away), which pretty much explains their price. In the US hospitals sell bags of salt water for $500 a pop.

i’ve heard the healthcare system is fucked up over there, but 500 a pop is just plain ridiculous :roll_eyes:

The hex-plus shape on the Wera are specifically good for not stripping small 1.5mm - 2.5mm sizes

The Bondhus don’t have that. These two things aren’t comparable imho.

Also, Wera aren’t immune to breaking. But they do strip less, which is typically the more common problem. They’re also sold individually if you break one :ok_hand:

TB6 or VESC 6

I don’t think I’d use one of the mini ESCs for a single drive commuter
