Key Features

• Laser-Etched Size Markings — Clear, crisp laser-etched markings make it impossible to grab the wrong size tool, eliminating the need for wrench wraps and saving you precious seconds during setup and adjustments. The bright colour-coded identification ring provides instant visual recognition of the correct tool size, making your toolbox more organised and efficient.
• Precision Ground with Diamond Wheels — Every Speed Tip is precision ground using diamond wheels to remove internal stress and part fatigue from the tool steel material. This advanced manufacturing process ensures maximum tool longevity and eliminates the risk of premature failure during critical adjustments on your RC setup.
• US Grade Tool Steel Construction — Manufactured from premium US grade tool steel drill blanks, these tools are built to the highest standards of durability and performance. Tool steel provides superior hardness and wear resistance compared to inferior materials, ensuring your tool maintains its precise fit across thousands of uses.
• Extraordinarily Tight Tolerances — Every tool is held within 20 microns (0.02 mm / 0.0008 inches), tolerances so precise that to put them in perspective, it's equivalent to taking a human hair and dividing it by 4. These microscopic tolerances ensure perfect hex engagement without wobble or stripping, protecting your expensive RC components from damage.
• Hand-Assembled in the USA — Every single MIP Speed Tip is assembled by hand and manufactured and packaged 100% in the USA. This commitment to domestic production and quality control means each tool receives individual attention and inspection before reaching your hands.
• Cohesive Gen 2 Design Philosophy — The MIP Gen 2 line is designed to create a cohesive look and feel across your entire tool collection. The subtle yet impactful design tweaks reinforce the iconic MIP identity, making it easier than ever to spot those legendary Speed Tips in your toolbox and building confidence that you're using the absolute best tools available.
• Trusted for Removing Damaged Screws — MIP Speed Tips are the go-to tool for removing screws that have been damaged by inferior tools. When you've stripped a screw with a poor-quality hex driver, a genuine MIP tool with perfect tolerances is your best chance of successful removal without further damage to your RC model.

Technical Performance

The MIP 5/64 Speed Tip represents the absolute pinnacle of precision tool engineering for RC enthusiasts. With tolerances held within 20 microns, these tools offer engineering precision that exceeds the requirements of even the most demanding professional RC mechanics and competition racers. The use of US grade tool steel drill blanks as the starting material ensures exceptional hardness and durability, while the precision grinding process using diamond wheels removes any internal stress that could cause premature failure. The 5/64 inch (0.078 inch) hex size is one of the most commonly used sizes in RC car maintenance, fitting fasteners on suspension components, electronics mounts, and drive train components across virtually every popular RC vehicle platform. The hand assembly process ensures that every tool is individually inspected and tested for perfect fit and function. This level of manufacturing excellence is why MIP tools remain the choice of world champions and professional RC racers who cannot afford failures or stripped fasteners during critical competition moments. The Gen 2 upgrade adds practical improvements like laser-etched markings and colour-coded rings for easy identification, without compromising the core engineering that has made these tools legendary for over 30 years.
