We will be in touch
Hi chaps,
After destroying most of my t-handles over the years, I'm after some new ones. I like the idea of some Teng ones, or Unior - but is there anything else I should be looking at?
Cheers
Ricks
Teng are no where near the quality of unior
I have irwin t bars they are good
How ever my wera hex plus regular L keys are by far the best ive used
Bondhus.
pleased with my reassuringly solid Allen T handled ones - plastic coated, weighty handle.
Bondus for me but bigger ones tend to be ball end
Park l shape have been good ( they are bondus with blue platic ) but just seen the price has shot up
And never ever blue point utter crap
Bacho might be worth a look, their tools are usially very good. Can be pricey though.
Bahco are good
Wiha ( look on powertoolworld clearance section for a good deal)
Wera
Bondhaus
Orangeboy do you have bluespot( cheap crap) mixed up with bluepoint ?( snap ons younger brother)
I have allen brand sae keys and not that impressed with them. Apparently they outsourced them a while back and ruined them
They came from snap on and are branded blue point
First the red plastic came off the handles very easily and the ends rounded off / wore down far to easily
And the small ones where not a great fit even from new
They were not a patch on the bondus ones I replaced them with
fair enough , i dont use snap on other than what garages seem to have left in my car at various repairs....
its like vw - over priced 😀
I do have a fair amount of snap on stuff and it's all very good and not at all like the blue point range
Bondhus stuff used to have a lifetime warranty on tools. I have some of their flip out, multi allen key sets and have had them changed a couple of times for free when they've become damaged.
Bondhus - really like them. Solid feel. Silverstone Motorsports sell them and there service is pretty good.
Beta tools, not ball end though.
I'd recommend the powerkey type over T-handles, far mor comfortable to use, and more versatile due to having a long and short arm. Facom are worth a look at.
PB Swiss tool, they also make an excellent biking mulitool. Expensive but the best quality I have come across.
I've got some Facom ones and they're great. Not the best definition (all the edges are a bit round) but they're hard wearing and I've not rounded anything off with them yet. Not cheap but I think worth the cash.
