Bondhus 13190 Set of 10 Balldriver and Hex T-handles with Stand, sizes 3/32-3/8-Inch

Fantastic set, really well made.

These are well made and have used Bondhuas tools for years with no issues.

So there I was in my garage. It was time to change the intake seals on my motorcycle engine. I had to remove four socket cap screws at tight angles. I stood with the only 1/4in allen wrench at my disposal. A cheap, L shaped wrench and about as long as my index finger. The kind that comes on a keyring set for a few bucks at the hardware store. I envisioned the pain and suffering that lay ahead. Split knuckles and stripped out screws were on the way, the kind of bitter experience I had dealt with in the past. I came to my senses and did a little research before ordering the Bondhus balldrivers. They arrived in short order and the same evening I opened the package, I thought I would just see how they fit at an angle on my motorcycle intake. 30 minutes later I was tightening the new seals into place. Results were fantastic. No slipping, no rounded fasteners. The Bondhus drivers fit at an angle, gripped the fasteners without an issue and were long enough to let me do the actual wrenching from the outside of the bike's frame. My heart grew two sizes that day. I have learned the hard way not to buy cheap tools. Buy decent tools and take care of them, they will pay for themselves. Also, your knuckles will thank you.

My initial thoughts were that I could get by with a different set from Amazon, which were advertised as T-handles but were actually a regular set of Allen keys with a "handle" included that fitted all the regular Allen Keys. The first time I needed to use these "T-handles" it turned out that I needed the length of the Bondhus and that the "Handle" that made the "T" was too bulky and a pain to grab and use.I returned the $20 set and bought this Bondhus set at a little more than triple the price.Is the Bondhus set worth it?My dad taught me a lesson a long time ago. He said: "Son, never be afraid to buy the best; you will always be happy with it." If you're a professional and value having the best quality tools, this set fits that category. (I own a lot of Snap-On tools but don't like their Allen Keys, they're too hard and brittle and I've broken the ball off a few times and stopped using those. same with their small screwdrivers, too hard. Wiha is the better choice.)

Have been using Bondhus wrenches for 5 decades and they never failed me!

The wrenches are nice and functional. The only negative is the storage tray is plastic with questionable longevity.

These Hex-T's aren't as cool looking as some of the other brands with chrome plating but I see a lot of those with the ball-ends snapped off, even the bigger sizes. Hex heads are used extensively on the production equipment we maintain and I bought the Bondhus because nobody has broken any of them and the sloped T-handle fits my hand better than a straight T. They're plain Jane but very durable.I didn't like that Bondhus does not provide the ball ends on the smaller sizes (below 9/64" if I'm not mistaken). They say this is to prevent breakage. So they're being realistic, but you don't find this out until you receive them. Yes, you are likely to snap off the small balls with those big T-handles if you're not careful so I use an L-type for the final torque.

Use these all the time. Really like the stand that keeps them organized.
