Stanley Hex Key Set 10Pc 1.5-10Mm 0 69 253

Ideal for the handyman

At last I'll always have the right size hex key. This is a nice set of hex keys for domestic and enthusiastic amateur usagee.I take the other reviewers comments about there being better hex key sets around for professional use - but I must admit that I seem to lose my hex keys on a 2 yearly basis. Consequently, the decent quality of these from a recognised brand, coupled with their reasonable price make them a good and sound compromised.My last hex key set were all kept together on a 'keyring' hoop meaning that I either had to take ALL of the hex keys to the job and handle them all together, or spend time messing about taking one off the hoop and replacing it later. Now, with this nice compact holder, I can easily take each one out as needed and replace it after use with a minimum of fuss.

quality feels decent even the smallest dont feel overly flimsy , decenr bit of kit for airsoft guns with all the sizes and hime jobs

I don't know where Allen/hex keys escape to, but they always seem to go missing; at least, the one particular size you need has a habit of not being where you thought it was. I bought this set in 2011 and after eight years of occasional use I can report a full complement of keys, each in their rightful place in the holder provided.Hex keys, especially the smaller sizes, can appear fragile. I don't feel these are any less sturdy than others I've used. Granted, if you use the wrong size, or try to use them for almost-the-same-size-but-not-quite imperial bolts, the corners will round off. Equally, there's only a certain amount of torque that can be applied to them, and with smaller seized bolts you may bend them. I bent a 2mm one a couple of years ago which I replaced cheaply and put into the same holder.Overall, for the low price and with a handy case, I'd recommend them for home use.

I have a few sets of allen keys, but all are currently lost in packing during a house move, even though I thought I was being careful. No matter, I decided to order this set as a temporary replacement and it is so good that I will no longer need my other sets once they have been located.I really like the way that the holder folds over so that it becomes a compact unit for storage and, although the keys are individually a bit reluctant to come out of their slot for use, it does mean they don't fall out easily as some in my other sets were prone to doing.The keys are all solidly built and durable with precise tips for fast tightening of things that need to be tightened. The yellow of the branded holder helps to ensure the set is easy to find in a toolbox as well or at least it is easy to locate as long as I don't pack it in a box for the next house move.This is a very good set of allen keys and a good small gift for a DIY enthusiast, particularly if they have recently moved house.

no issues with them

Good set for use at home

Not much to say really as an Allen key is a fairly simple tool but I'd always recommend buying these Stanley Allen keys as the quality of the steel is excellent so they won't bend or break and they'll last for years.
