Features:

  • Heat treated chrome vanadium steel with black-oxide finish
  • Precisely-sized, chamfered ends insert smoothly into fastener head, reducing wear
  • Hinged case opens flat, making it easier to get wrenches in and out
  • Long arm wrenches provide extra reach and greater torque
  • Ball hex ends allow up to a 25-degree entry angle to reach around obstructions
Tight fit, good quality.

These hex keys are good quality. Mostly I keep these in my gunsmithing tools for working on guns and installing scopes. They fit well in their sizes (not over or under sized) to the screw heads. Not all keys are the same size, even if they are labelled to be the same size. Most are too loose in the screw heads and round out the screw. That's a bad day. I haven't rounded out any SHCS with these unless they were hopelessly stuck. Should have used some heat and an impact. Much less likely for bad things to happen then.

Solid Construction, Great for Working at Odd Angles (reaching behind things), Well Worth the Wait for Delivery

This is a great product. I didn't buy the cheapest set of Metric Allen Wrenches because I wanted to see how the "ball end" version works. My first use was to adjust the VESA Mounts on a multi-monitor display stand that tends to hold monitors in a static, non-movable mount. I had already tried several "freebie in the product box" allen wrenches and none of them seemed to fit. However, because of the position of the actul bolt, I wasn't certain I was getting the Allen Wrenches properly aligned. This product solves the alignment problem. Place it in the bolt head area, wiggle it around and it falls into place (if you have the proper size). I was able to loosen every over-tightened bolt with the low-torque ball end without any issue. The set feels weighty with a decent organizer, although I doubt the "hanging loop" will last very long, so I store this in my tool chest.

Indispensable

Perfect for working on my motorcycle, havn't bent any of them yet. The ball heads allow you to access tight spaces.

High quality, GREAT case, unbeatable value

Quality is outstanding, comparable to more expensive domestically made tools. Precise tolerances in all my stainless Allen head cap screws. The coating is simply fantastic - I see these standing up to rust for many many years. But my favorite feature is the extremely well made case that gently opens and closes with a friction fit - no cheesy plastic clip that'll eventually break off. All this quality for a price even lower than that big box china tool store including Prime shipping = huge win. Recommended.

Best quality and value for the price. Highly recommended.

Great set of tools. Used daily, these tools are just one of my many breadwinner tools to my bicycle repair shop and I rely upon them all the time. Very well organized and ready to go, they keep easily and make finding the right size easy and fast. The ball end feature comes in handy for the tight hard to reach areas and makes what would be difficult tasks just that much easier to tackle. Well worth the money. They've paid for themselves within the first hour I used them. Highly recommended for someone needing a solid complete metric set of Allen wrenches.

Good quality little set

I've now bought 3 of these. Not because of any defects, in fact, I'm just really messy and am prone to forgetting where I put stuff. I figure if I get enough of these I'll eventually find all my allen wrenches I need. Really though, I have yet to break any of these, round any off, or have any issues with them. They're sturdy, and I've even put way more torque than I probably should have on some of them, and still haven't broken them. Good little set.

I am surprised at how much I like these. I bought them for occasional use

I am surprised at how much I like these. I bought them for occasional use, so was willing to buy what I though was a lesser-quality item. It turns out they are at least as good as my good sets (older Craftsman). I also like the case, which fold open so that it is easy to remove and reinsert the wrenches. Highly recommended.

Nice Kit For The Money

The right balance of price and value for me. Needed the set for working on my Japanese motorcycles as they don't use SAE hex bolts. Had all the sizes needed and that special end makes it easier to access the bolts at a bit of an angle. The smaller sizes have shorter shanks than the large ones. The holder makes for easy access with the sizes marked on the keys and the holder. Maybe I had some oddly sized bolts but noticed one end of the key would fit better in a particular bolt than the other though in theory they should be the same size. No big deal, I'm just glad to get the job done.

Better than expected. High grade tools.

Great set of Hex Key Wrenches. I like the double folding holder, makes for a more compact design and easy to access the size needed. So far, they fit the bolts well, the long arm really makes work faster and easier on the hands when tightening. Also, the ball end is great to speed in or out a bolt after breaking it free with the short end. update: I've had these for 6 months now and use them often. They are not showing signs of wear or rounding. Very pleased with the quality.

Nice and compact case makes for easy storage and access

Disclaimer: I am mechanically inept. I know little about tools. I probably use a screwdriver or hex wrench or something similar two or three times a year at most. With those disclaimers in place, I like these little hex wrenches a lot! Granted, I've only used them twice in the year I've owned them: once to repair a cat perch, and once to disassemble the front of my dishwasher. No tricky angles were involved so a regular hex wrench would've sufficed, though I hear the ball head is nice for tricky angles. Anyway, the thing I like about these is that there are a lot of different sizes (I got the 13-piece set) so it was very easy to find one to fit my different needs. I also like the case and how it folds up, making it very compact for storage. The pieces slide in and out very easily, and it's a lot nicer to keep this one set around than to try to keep up with the various cheapie hex wrenches that come in the assemble-it-yourself household items I've collected over the year.
