The tool for your hobby

Everyone has probably heard this phrase before, but nowhere is it more apt than with tools. The price range between discount products, Chinese imports and branded goods is often enormous. Some people tend to prefer the inevitable bargain, but often regret the purchase after a short time. These “cheap tools” are often made of inferior materials or the quality of workmanship is simply poor. These tools wear out significantly faster or can even cause damage to your valuable RC models. Poor screwdrivers, for example, are often not manufactured precisely and can therefore turn the screw “round”. This happens all too often, especially with Allen screws, if cheap tools are used. These can then often only be drilled out once the screw is tight and the Allen key is damaged.
Unfortunately, this can also happen quickly with a Torx, slotted, cross etc. drive due to the use of poor tools. Unfortunately, this can also happen quickly with a Torx, slotted, cross, etc. drive due to the use of poor tools.
The same also applies to other tools. In model making, precise needle-nose pliers are particularly important for reaching hard-to-reach places in the models. Inexpensive pliers are often not optimally adjusted. This is manifested by some play in the joint or a connection that is too tight. The two gripping surfaces of the pliers are often not precisely aligned, so that they never provide a really firm grip.
The aspects described are only intended as a small example. We are sure that everyone has already had their own experiences with such cheap tools.
