Useful to have, and cheaper than some other comparable packages. They seem well built, but there isn't really much to go wrong with a set of hex keys. You can tighten the rotating mechanism; the SAE set has a metric adjustment screw, and the metric set has an SAE adjustment screw, which was good thinking!
If you're looking to build your own basic set of tools (as I was) there are some homeowner's kits here that appear to be more cost effective than building your own set, and also come with a tool box/organizer. I wish I had known about those before I started buying various single tools.

These Stanley Allen wrench sets are handy and of very good quality. I cannot stand the allen wrench sets that are comprised of the individual loose wrenches, I am constantly losing one of them. These SAE and metric sets are great. Each one holds a wide variety of sizes, and they are all held together within the handle. Stanley's redesign of these sets is a great improvement over the earlier models which they used to manufacture. The handles on these newer ones are larger and mor comfortable in your hands, affording you more torque and a more enjoyable working experience. Allen wrenches are used for most all set screws and for assembling many products which require the purchaser to assemble the product, and also in many mechanical situations. This makes have a goo set indespensible, and you cannot go wrong with these Stanley sets to meet all of your allen wrench needs.

My new Schwinn needs different sized hex keys, so I got this one that I can toss into my backpack. Works fine so far - I was a bit skeptical at first because I wasn't sure how much leverage it would take, but I was able to re-tighten the handlebars good and tight.

I've had a lot of sets of more traditional, L-shaped allen wrenches over the years, and it seems like I have a preternatural ability to lose the small ones. Since usually you can't buy single sizes at all, or when you can, not cost-effectively, I've got a lot of allen sets missing the same 3 keys. Having them all attached on a much less easily lost folding block makes a lot of sense to me. The keys themselves seem to be pretty high quality metal, and they seem to put up with a lot of torque without bending. They were cheap enough that once I start snapping them off I'll probably buy another set. I'm mostly using them to make quick adjustments on my guitar saddles and on my bike, and they seem more than up for the task for either of those applications.

If you ever need to assemble furniture or fix bike seats etc, having a set of allen wrenches like this is a MUST. I hesitated on ordering a set for the longest time but oh boy, after owning this, I don't struggle anymore with a wrong sized hex. Since this comes in various sizes, it takes care of all that I need to tighten, etc, and I know I won't need to ever buy another set. The yellow casing helps with gripping when you're using this hex set too!

Look, how many times have we all had a project (automotive, furniture assembly, etc) where we needed the right tool but didn't have it?
Save yourself some grief and spring for this dual hex tool set. Never be "stranded" again without the right tool for the job. These are well-made and have a wide range (from "tiny" to "massive" ... sorry, I have no idea of the technical sizes, but I have yet to be in a situation where these have not been the answer to a hex nut puzzle!). They are heavy and large, so the grip feel good; makes it much easier to use than a standalone hex key.
In summary - highly recommended for the money - go for it!

First off, it has all the sizes I needed. Which is a big plus considering that it's not a comprehensive hex set. I have another hex set, but it's less convenient to carry around. So this'll be my go to for personal projects now.
Also nice is that it comes in a relatively cheap two pack. Just one set of these at a hardware store would run about $10. And I was able to give the other set to a friend who hasn't yet built up a collection of tools. And it's kinda amazing that even though quite a lot of indoor and outdoor things require hex, but very few people actually have hex tools to do general repairs with.
In spite of the casing being plastic, the hex set has held up fine the few times I've used it thus far. It doesn't seem like the casing has any stress put on it anyways, so I don't think it'll be a problem. One of the hex keys doesn't fit entirely flush to the casing, but it's just a slight cosmetic issue, and not something that's going to affect operation. It's overall light weight, and has a small foot print, so you can keep it pretty much anywhere. The bright yellow Stanley coloration means you aren't likely to lose track of it either. All in all it's a great pair of tools for general home improvement or general maintenance.

Love this convenient set. I could never find the right size hex key for the job and now I have a nice set that fits most everything . It's just a bit larger than a pocket knife and fits nicely in the tool box.
By Ketty
I was afraid these hex keys would be too bulky because of the set all attached together but so far I have not had any issues. In fact, I really like how you can pry one hex key out and the rest of the tool becomes a "handle". It really provides great leverage and torque to help you turn the key, much better than a bare key that could dig into your palms. find this set no more bulkier than a screw driver handle. You can even pry an individual key straight out and use the set in screw driver style if you turn slowly.

After years of building flat pack furniture, you accumulate a lot of hex keys. They all end up in a box somewhere and you wish there was an easier tool that just had them all. Well, this is that tool.
This set has nine hex keys of various sizes, from smallest to largest:
• 5/64"
• 3/32"
• 7/64"
• 1/8"
• 9/64"
• 5/32"
• 3/16"
• 7/32"
• 1/4"
The keys fold out of this black and yellow Stanley tool [see photos]. The yellow color helps you recognize that it's a tool of some sort, and makes it easy to find in a pile of stuff. There is rubber on it for your hand to grip it. It is compact in size. It's a simple effective design and an incredibly useful tool.
You can throw away all those extra hex keys and stop being a hoarder. This is the only hex key set you need. Recommended.
