Oh my gosh these things are absolutely amazing! First of all, you're going to have to take my word as a bit more than a grain of salt just because I don't really know tools very much. The only only comparison I have to these are the allen keys on my multi-tool and an assorted variety of allen keys that I've gotten from IKEA furniture over the years. Finally decided to splurge on some highly rated allen keys because I stripped two 2.5mm bolts on my bike. But because I said “first of all,” I must say second of all, and that second of all is that these things are so amazing.
Bullet Point Analysis:
------------------------------------
The Pros
------------------------------------
' Fantastic quality, no problems at all with small bolts, both ends work perfectly
' Ball-ends are absolutely fantastic, you really do get a lot more angles to work with
' Color on the keys is pretty cool, a little more dark than light but still fine
' The added little holder is of nice quality, minimal advertising on it which is nice
' All the big keys have their size labeled on them and the holder has sizes written on too
' The set is nice and bulky, they feel strong after a lot of use over the week, no sign of wear
------------------------------------
The Cons
------------------------------------
' Color on the used tips does start to come off, but that's expected, the rest of the key is pristine
' There's a slight amount of bend when dealing with small keys and high torques, reasonable however
------------------------------------
Summary
------------------------------------
If you want an allen key set for use with bike equipment (What I used them for) or something in that vain then these certainly look like a clear candidate. I've used them quite a lot in the week I've had them and also lent them out to let other people be brutal and wear them out and the ends are still in perfect condition, only thing that has changed of course is the paint like I said. Overall great quality. I'm really happy with them.
