TEKTON Hex Key Wrench Set, 30-Piece (.028-3/8 in., .7-10 mm) | 25253

I got this kit because I lost my allen wrench for this little picatinny rail pistol laser i bought off amazon and lowes didn't have an allen wrench that small. When i got the Tekton Hex Key kit i was surprised by the weight of it, I wasn't expecting it to be as heavy as it was. When I opened it up I was able to see why it was as heavy as it was. They give you basically any size you'll ever need! there are ones smaller than a tooth pick, I have no idea what they're used for but they're included. they also have huge ones that are nearly a half inch size in diameter. The case that these come in is sturdy and made out of tough plastic. the wrenches come in two styles, long handled and short handled and they are both clearly labeled with their measurements. All in all this hex key set will pay for itself in time, it's the only set you'll need as I cant imagine what you'd need bigger or smaller sizes for. The only downsides to the set is the way the wrenches are secured in the case. the case has these little notches carved out in 3 places for each wrench. you supposed to push down on the wrench to make them pop into the notches to secure them. The issues I have is the notches widen after a while and no longer securely hold the wrenches and after a while they wont even pop when you push the wrenched into the notches, the wrenches will just fall into place loosley. But I didn't buy this set for the case i bought them for the wrenches and they work great so I cant complain too much. I'm happy with the purchase and I'm sure i'll use them for a long time.

As a teenager I had a bag full of hex wrenches that used to travel around in my guitar supplies because I had one with a Floyd Rose on it that always needed tweaked, and somewhere over the last 15 years I lost it in my travels.I picked this up because my wife and I bought a house that had a ton of corners skipped when the last guy flipped it. We had just been dealing with these small annoyances and hadn't really planned on tidying them up, but finally enough is enough.This Tekton Hex Wrench set came and so far I've been able to knock two or three small projects out.The case that they came in is a nice, hard-plastic snap case. Upon receiving them I gave it a shake and all of the hexes were loose on the inside. So after a careful opening I spent a few minutes popping them all back into their slots.First impression is that they all seem sturdy. Didn't have any problems locking down my bathroom fixtures, and I also used them to tighten up a toddler's loft bed.For the few dollars I spent I'm pleased with the set. I'll be tightening up the living room and dining room tables with them next, and then probably some bike handles, so it's always handy to have a set of these in your house.Overall, superb Ten-ish dollar purchase!

I got tired of my son taking all the tools out of the toolbox and losing them that I had to buy a replacement hex set. I’ve had this hex wrench set for FOUR years now. It has been a lifesaver so many times! It’s amazing how many different kinds of furniture, chairs etc need to be assembled with hex wrenches. Just this morning I had to take apart some patio chairs to move them, and once again, turned to this set—this time needed the metric ones. This set has every size you would ever need, and they are always very neatly in order, so it’s easy to tell if one is missing! I highly recommend this set. So glad I got it, and now I am coming back to buy a second one for our vacation home.I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases. I do that because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope my review helped you.

I bought this set for my fiancee after finding myself in need of a hex key at her house and not in possession of the keys that I normally carry in my roving tool kit.As a few others have noted, the set I received came with the .028" key slightly bent - Not enough to matter but it is a little disconcerting in a brand new set of keys. The keys are also quite greasy, which is good in terms of rust prevention but I think the amount on them is excessive. The case is sturdy and stays flat when it's opened, but the hinges are thin and I won't be surprised if they break eventually. All of the keys' sizes are embossed in their homes in the case, and all but the smallest keys have their sizes clearly stamped into the metal as well. A little white paint in the stamps (after degresasing) would make them very easy to read. The oxide finish on the metal is deep and dark.The case is larger than I expected, almost 8 inches tall, but obviously necessary when you see the great length of the arms of the SAE keys. The metric ones are labelled as "short arm" but are actually rather long as well. The leverage could come in very handy with a difficult fastener. It's a very complete SAE and metric set, including many sizes that I have never used in over 50 years of active tinkering, working on machinery, etc.I've bought several other tools and tool sets branded TEKTON including impact sockets, and have yet to be disappointed in any of them. These keys appear to be quite satisfactory for occasional use. They're not as good as the ones I keep with my machine tools but they're certainly better than not having a key that you need in order to get a job done. Buy this set if only to ensure that you have one of an oddball size that you may need some day.
