I've probably tried 3 or 4 different types of hex wrench sets and there was always something where they came up short in actual use.

I have hex sets that fold out like a knife. But those are awkward if you do any amount of twisting,...you have to twist the bulky handle that houses all the other folded wrenches. I've had sets with no ball on the end and yes they do get the job done but you've got to make sure the hex is inserted directly into the bolt or problems when turning. Sometimes that's not possible.

These hex ball ends dynamite. Well engineered with a great case with helpful features. These Tekton's are perfect for fitting into any situation where a straight in attack is not possible. Comes with both the metric & english sizes in their own case with sizes clearly printed on the hinged fold out flat case. Nice! Best case I've ever seen for hex wrenches. Plus the wrenches are a little longer than standard hex wrenches which makes life easier in most situation.

BOTTOM LINE: I paid 19$ retail for metric set only. To get BOTH Metric/English for less & free shipping is a nice bargain. Easily EARNS 5-STARS.

These allen wrenches are extremely well made. I've abused mine a considerable amount and they have yet to bend, strip out, or even chip the finish (unless this is somehow made of dark steel - Batman's favorite material). They work great and I like the swivel arm on the front small set. This arm makes it very useful in pulling out the wrench I need.

Even my 5yr old daughter found them interesting - pulling every single one out of its space. I told her that she now got the opportunity to put them all back where they belong. She was able to do it within a couple of minutes. Easy to use, easy to keep together, well made.

I bought these hex keys for my tool set and I absolutely love them. I have used them countless times and they are very durable. I love the ball shaped end on these keys as well that allows you to turn hex screws from a slight angle if you need to. I would recommend these tools to everyone. TEKTON tools are great quality and perform very very well.

Very well made hex wrenches that feel very durable. There are a ton of sizes which unfortunately I have not been able to use just yet (comes with metric and inches). But for the ones I have used they have worked perfectly for me. They also sit outside and haven't rusted on me just yet. I love the holder they come in with as well. Easy to see size and the holder folds out.

I bought the Tekton 25282 Hex Key set because my current set (very similar to the Tekton) can't be in two places at once. When I'm in the garage it seemed my hex keys were in the basement, and when I was in the basement I had left them in the garage. Grrrrr.....

So I moved my existing set to the garage and bought the Tekton for my "go to" tool tote. It's the one that is used for "most" general jobs.

The Tekton has a nice range of hex keys and the fit and finish is fine. The keys are well held in the case - you can turn it upside down and not lose any keys.

One nice touch on the case is that both the SAE and the metric cases come with a small ring built into the case, so if you want to hang your hex key set on a peg it's no problem.

The 'ball head' on the long shaft allows you to finish loosening hard-to-get-to bolts, while the straight head on the short shaft allows for maximum torque in loosening or tightening bolts.

The Tekton set is a nice addition to my tool tote, and I think they're a pretty good buy. YMMV, of course.

HTH

I have owned some nice tools over my years. I have also owned some cheap tools and I don't mean cheap as in $. Typically you get what you pay for when you purchase tools and I was a bit skeptical with the Tekton line of tools, even after many good reviews on Amazon. I am an avid home do it yourself guy and as I have gotten older I realize that having the right and quality tool is worth every penny you pay for a good tool. Tekton has truly surprised me. This wrench set is as nice as any high dollar set I have ever owned. 100% satisfied.

Just got my set today and they look like great tools for the money and for home use. I suppose if you are a pro and use these all the time then you might want something better but these will be great for typical home use, especially for the price I paid... and it's great having both a metric and an inch set handy.

Really impressed with this set! I've always only had the very basic set that comes with cheap tool-sets, but a recent project necessitated a larger hex so I began searching for a new set. The reviews on these were excellent so I gave them a shot. I have not been let down at all. I would definitely purchase these again if needed, and would absolutely recommend them to friends/family. The little organizing sleeves are perfect, and far better than any others I've dealt with. It's nice to have access to all sizes at the same time, and to be able to see all sizes as the holder folds out for easy viewing and removal.

When you need a hex key wrench, especially to drive a bolt at an odd angle, these ball-driver ended hex keys are invaluable. Whether it is your new IKEA furniture, some electronic hardware, or anything in between, these will fit the bill.

The holder for these hex key sets is smartly designed, clearly labeled, and even has a lanyard loop in case you want to "dummy cord" the set to your toolbox, belt, or near a machine which requires their regular usage. The smaller keys swing out on a gate, so you can more easily arrange and access both rows. The tools themselves are fairly hard, meaning they will not readily be worn out by torquing on a fastener. The ball-ends allow you to drive at an angle, in case something like an upright dowel on a railing is in the way. The keys are also long enough to allow you more leverage than the usual types of keys which come with assemble-it-yourself projects.

If you regularly require a small set of metric and/or imperial hex key wrenches, purchase this set once and never look back.

LOVE IT!! It's always great to have some sort of tools in your filmmaking or photography gear bag. I found these sets of Long Arm Ball Hex Key Wrench Set, Inch/Metric the best. I have several gears with standard and some some with metric hex screws. So I definitely recommend everyone who wants to get these sets, to go ahead and get them. You'll be glad you did!
