JAN. 2012 UPDATE: Though I'm not going to change my original review, below, not everyone is reporting problems with the plastic enclosure, especially among the more recent reviews. It may very well be that Fuller has been using different and/or multiple suppliers at different times to provide the plastic case, and that the quality has not been consistently the same from vendor to vendor. Let the buyer beware: If you buy this VERY useful hex set, they may come in a sturdy and rugged enclosure, or you may get them in a cheap plastic piece of crap.

On the plus side, this is a hex set that contains more sizes than you'll ever need or use. It should take care of any and all mechanical projects you need to work on. Be aware, though, that these hex wrenches do not have the "ball" end.

The worst feature is the plastic box it comes in. Fuller needs to totally rework the design. The tiniest of the wrenches all too quickly and easily fall out with the slightest bump. Once that happens, good luck at trying to figure out what each size is, IF you're able to find them. This hex set with its poorly-designed case will not hold up to the rough treatment that it would receive in any repair shop, and remain intact.

3.0 out of 5 stars Every hex key you wanted in a case you'll hate, August 31, 2006

This review is from: Fuller Tool 130-8030 30-Piece Combo SAE/Metric Hex Key Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

I prefer these types of loose keys to the pocket-knife sets since they require less room to use. This particular set contains all of the keys I've ever needed for electronics and home repair, and then some.

The smallest keys I cannot see using, since I've never seen a hex screw that small, and I'm sure it would bend or break with the required torque.

Like the other reviewers, I agree that the case is horrible. I keep the whole thing in my tool chest drawer so that it's not tossed around but still cannot seem to keep the small keys in their place. Fortunately, the large ones--the ones I acutally use--do stay put.

This set is the most expansive of the ones I've seen for sale here, and still recommend it despite the problems of the case.

2.0 out of 5 stars Many Sizes - Poor Storage, June 14, 2006

This review is from: Fuller Tool 130-8030 30-Piece Combo SAE/Metric Hex Key Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

I agree with the previous reviewer. The multitude of sizes is terrific - the case is an abomination. Most of the little plastic tabs that hold the keys in place were broken off on arrival. Several more have broken since I started using the set. This makes it impossible to use the case to keep the keys organized. If you purchase this set, plan on devising an alternate means to store the keys.
