I could see these finding a home in my trailer! There always seems to be someone looking for some hardware whenever I'm out at the field.

I need to get one of these! sounds perfect!

Thanks for the review! Question. Whats your view on the value???

Value is subjective. I personally think its worth it to have almost every fastener you would need for building or repairs, labeled and easily accessible, that will last you for years (assuming you arent running an aircraft building service).

Nice review. Pricey though.

A great alternative is Trimcraft Aviation RC. They have stainless steel fasteners in metric and standard SAE sizes. Lots of other things too. The quality of the fasteners is amazing for the price. For example, twenty-five (25) 4-40 x 3/4" stainless steel socket head are only 50 cents! Their shipping is only $2.99 in the USA for any size order.

Check them out. I have purchased just about every socket head (my favorite) fastener they have. I now have a fantastic variety of hard-to-find 2mm and 2-56 sizes, as well as all the larger sizes, washers, blind-nuts, wow. It is terrific to have almost every size on hand. I am not affiliated with Trimcraft, I am just a very satisfied customer, and I wanted to pass on this info to others in the hobby.

Service is fast, and Gino is very helpful and responds to emails quickly.

Check it out!

So I saw this item at the hobby shop, bigger than a brick and must have weighed ten pounds! The price gave me a little sticker shock at first, but after seeing how much is included in the kit I think it is worth it for the avid RC builder. If you consider how many tiny 2 buck packages it would take to comprise what is in the box it is actually a good deal. You'll probably become a popular guy at the field too when someone needs a piece

Now thats good thinking... helping out the guys at the field... the price (for me) has been justified...

I order from RTL as I need them. About 50% of the master builder assortment is too short, etc.

I bought this assortment last year and it's worked out well so far. Could use some more Phillips head screws,but the hex drive is really better as you get no cam outs.

Thanks for the review, I just purchased a ton of hardware, They have a 35% sale going on now. The master set was $104 dollars. Im good with that.

Just placed my order too, also got the SAE & Metric Pro-Hold driver sets.

Thanks for the heads up!

Years ago, When the babies were babies, I started washing out the little jars and keeping hardware in them.
And then I found a 3 drawer, metal box... each drawer held 24 jars!

As I build a model, or touch up finished models (changing servos, or power systems), all the unused hardware or left overs go into a small margarine tub. Every now and then, I spend 20 minutes sorting out the bits and putting them into their proper jars.

When I notice I am running low on an item, I take the time to check all the jars, put together a list, and order what I need.

The items in my collection very much parallel what the "set" has.

never thought I would read an entire review on hardware LOL. This sure would make my life easier; I tend to have 3-4 projects going on at a time and there are always bits of hardware that halt my progress to go to the LHS...very nice.

I particularly like those rubber backed washers; perfect for cowls.
