TEKTON Ball End Hex Key Wrench Set, 13-Piece (1.27-10 mm) | 25272

I got tired of running out to the garage to get the metric hex keys (Allen wrenches) every time I needed one for the European air guns. So I ordered these and they are very nice. The ball end is really handy whether you are working on a Russian Ural or an English rifle. Of curse if you plan on exerting maximum torque they are more likely to slip and wear. So if you want to really tighten something to the max, use the short end. The holder is very nice. It opens to allow easier access to the small keys. But unlike some it does not flop around. Clicks shut. The keys seem to be tempered well with no unusual signs of wear but, I haven't had them long enough to be sure of course. In my opinion they are well worth the price.

I bought a used Permobil power wheelchair to use when I occasionally need it. It is metric, and my tools were not. I bought this set to take off screws that were so tight that I had to crank on the wrench several times before the screws broke free with a loud “snap” sound. This 5 mm wrench did not bend, did not break. Screw after screw came off and the wrench held up to a lot of hard cranks.

I have several different sets of these, SAE & Metric. The ball end is a great feature for when you are in a tight area and need to work the screw at an angle. I have not had any issues at all with rounding or stripping these.

I had a Craftsman set that rounded the ends, exchanged them at lowes for new craftsman and they were terrible. Got on Amazon and looked and these Tektons are highly rated, they are also $3 cheaper than the Craftsman.Wow are they better. They are not as bendy even on the smaller 1.5mm and so far they have held up well to the use I have put them to (building a treadmill and adjusting my 3d printer) and still look brand new.And best of all? they have a lifetime warranty that you can email or call them on if you need service. Better than having to go into a store if you have a failure.Great tools, Great price. And easy service.

Good solid hex wrench set for my bike toolkit. Works well, great price. The case is a little bit of a pain to deal with, but once you figure out you need to turn all the keys larger than the one you are trying to get out sideways so you can get it out, it's OK to good. But it's worth keeping them in the case to keep them organized and easy to find the correct sized key when you need it.

I've used these about a year pretty much daily for work. I often had to use the ball end at odd angles and with external leverage. I was surprised at how well they've stood up!

Disclaimer: I am mechanically inept. I know little about tools. I probably use a screwdriver or hex wrench or something similar two or three times a year at most.With those disclaimers in place, I like these little hex wrenches a lot! Granted, I've only used them twice in the year I've owned them: once to repair a cat perch, and once to disassemble the front of my dishwasher. No tricky angles were involved so a regular hex wrench would've sufficed, though I hear the ball head is nice for tricky angles.Anyway, the thing I like about these is that there are a lot of different sizes (I got the 13-piece set) so it was very easy to find one to fit my different needs. I also like the case and how it folds up, making it very compact for storage. The pieces slide in and out very easily, and it's a lot nicer to keep this one set around than to try to keep up with the various cheapie hex wrenches that come in the assemble-it-yourself household items I've collected over the year.

I picked this Allen wrench set up to put in the tool bag on my motorcycle. I have used them several times, and they are working great. They appear to be a high quality wrench. The angled end of the wrench makes it very easy to come into the Allen screw head from an angle, and it holds firm. Nice and long on the longer side, so they can reach into tight spaces.I highly recommend this set.

Excelente relacion calidad/precio. Muy recomendable.

Forte e bom

Gut danke

Son las que mas uso para ajustes en mi bicicleta y moto, son las de batalla, la del no. 6 ya se me doblo de la punta por una mala conminación de presión y posición, no esperaba más por el precio que pague.Las volveria a comprar.

Ball end design is key (pun intended) for getting into tight spaces. Good quality and fast shipping for a reasonable price, highly recommended.
