Both good, but Adam is talking about how the kit chassis only needs wrenches to assemble.

EDIT: how many teams actually fall into this catagory of only being allowed to use wrenches/screwdrivers/etc.? I also have a design that I'm almost done with one that requires only a saw and a drill to assemble (and is cheap! )
