5.0 out of 5 stars No tool box is complete without a set of Allen Hex Keys, August 17, 2000

No matter how many mechanics and homeowners tools you may have racked up, unless you have a simple set of both standard and metric allen hex keys your tool kit is not yet complete. I suggest buying this set because it includes both standard and metric sized sets. With the ever expanding use of metric parts on our cars and trucks, and anything else for that matter, you will want to be sure you have both set sizes handy. Allen is the origional manufacturer of the hex key, the keys they make are not low carbon so they dont twist off at the slightest bit of added pressure unlike some hex keys you may have used. Another nice feature is the fact that they include those nice little plastic carry totes with them that hold your keys tight in place so you dont loose them. Like I said no tool box is complete without a nice set of hex keys, may as well pick them up here, its a good set.

This review is from: Allen 56009 Long Arm SAE/Metric Hex Key Set, 22-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)

Recently, I had to tackle a job that required a 5mm key. Because only the ball-ended section properly grips the inside without slipping, that is the end I used. Of 6 bolts, I was able to loosen 2, applying leverage using their speed handle. The ball broke off on the 3rd bolt.

Though disappointed, this was nothing compared to my experience with Bondhus Gorilla-Proof, also made in the US, the ball broke off immediately AND the tool got bent using their holder as the recommended leverage arm.
