I also have needle nose pliers, a hammer, bradle, drywall tape, silicone glue, scissors, hobby knife, masking tape, toothbrushes, paintbrush, sharpie. Interested to hear what you have.

Tamiyabigstuff 832 Posted September 26, 2020 I have several tool boxes...the wife says I have too many tools...when it comes to tools there is no such thing as too many. She is probably right though... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikerclubby 40 Posted September 26, 2020 JIS screwdrivers indispensable for Tamiya stuff. Recently bought a set of hex drivers in small sizes (1.5 - 3mm). Much stiffer an easier to use than small allen keys. Weirdest tool is a set of toe nail pliers for removing parts from bulk mouldings! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is probably right though... seriously i purchased my wife a roll away stackable plastic tool chest for all her gear (make up, you know girly things) all her friends found out and went to go purchase the same thing or similar. never had had that problem with her after that. well she's gone now and you know what? she forgot to take it, now i have all my fasteners in there just for RC. well it's fun now, wasn't then. but yeah! truly time does heal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks pretty cool and haven't come across it before, is this the one you have? 49267. https://www.rcjaz.co.uk/tamiya-49267-trf-tool-set-blue-color-p-3566.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
