[Closed] Good quality hex and torx keys
I am in the market for some good quality hex and torx keys. I have a set of Park ones that have been good but I have managed to loose a couple (never lend tools to mates and fathers) and have decided to throw some money at getting a nice new set.
Any ideas which manufactures to look for? They must be ball ended if that makes any difference.
Pedros for me.
I suspect you'll get more for you cash if you don't buy bike specific sets..
Are they the P handled blue ones? You can buy the missing ones individually you know.
Facom
Snapon
Something like that - I wouldn't bother buying generic tools from companies that specialise in bike tools
Beta T Handle, only a few quid from engineering wholesalers and as good if not better than Snapoff. I keep going and buying more Beta stuff. Good Italian engineering like when Marzocchi made proper forks...

Found this site the other day. Just bought a nice 1/4 inch drive torque wrench at a good price.
2nd for Facom, lovely kit to use
3rd Facom or Bondhus
As a decent quality budget tool the helfrauds professional range take some beating. Much better quality than basic tools, much cheaper than top quality professional ones
screwfix - Wera 9 piece allen key set:
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10mm keys and clip.
£19.99
had some for ages, very good imho
Bondhus make the Park ones btw.
Beta Tools good, but the T-Handle ones I have are not ball end.
Tom's Tool Chest http://www.ttcuk.com/beta-tools-8-c.asp sometimes has good offers on.
I'd avoid the Halfords Pro torx keys, I've snapped the ends off several of mine with not a huge amount of force.
i snapped the end off a park hex key other day 🙁
lidl
or Aldi
I got some draper ones from amazon that are ok.
