Wera - 5073596001 Hexagon 950 PKL/9 BM SB L-Key Set, BlackLaser, Ballpoint Hex Key, 9 Piece

Best set of Allen's I've ever found....they don't strip out. Been using a set in an industrial environment for over 5 years still as good as new despite the cheater bars I've put on the things. Also strip out bolts less often than the cheaper sets. I only wish they had a short set and made a socket set

I was wondering what all the rage about Wera tools were. This set of hex keys answered it all. Amazing quality steel that doesn't feel like it will break or bend when in use. The ball tips are precisely cut so as not to round out the holes of various screws. I deliberately got the longer set because of my intended use, but I'm considering getting another set of a normal length for everyday use.

My go to allen keys. Feels premium. Also the circular ends are very efective for tight corners.

Purchased a non ball end shorty version for $9 and was completely satisfied. Made that purchase because there was only 1 remaining. This however had an even better price at just over $10, but a minimum 2 week shipping delay. I went ahead and it was worth the wait. Exactly like the previous purchase, reviewers call the case cheap and I find it is a high quality feel and precise mechanism able to hold all the keys in the smallest space available while maintaining quick access. With the best color and surface finish available. The keys themselves are fantastic in all aspects, length, metallurgy, finish, torque adding modified hex shape, and offset accessible ball end.

Fit and finish is great. Good length for reach and easier to apply torque. Definitely recommend after using several times

I've used these for a few months at work and have no complaints to note. I have 4 sets of Wera hex keys altogether and none of them have had any issues. They grip on the fastener excellent, show no signs of rounding, and seem to be up to par with all the other Wera stuff. I love this brand! Can't recommend these enough if you're going to be using them often.

I work in manufacturing maintenance so I use hex heads often especially metric where I work. I frequently encounter rounded heads that are nearly impossible to get out and had a coworker with a set of the more expensive Wera Hex plus that I tried and loved because of the ease of getting out rounded heads. Overall there haven’t been any rounded out heads that I haven’t been able to get out since I started using them and I know that any rounded heads that I’ve encountered since I got them weren’t from me since it also prevents rounding out. These wrenches also seem to be as durable as any others on the market while feeling lighter. The only thing to watch out for is they are long so while it’s nice to have the extra grip the torque applied to them can make them bend which has happened slightly to my 4 mm.

I was expecting a bit more from Wera. The tools are ok, but nothing special. They're heavy, with a chalky finish. The red toolholder is a bit janky. It's a rubbery plastic, which hold the keys securely, but I doubt that it will hold up well, and it's awkward to use the catch. The keys fit well in generic hex screws, at least for the 5mm and 2.5mm which I use most often. The price was surprising, under $13, compared to $35+ for the color coded Weras. The size of the keys seems ok, with some minor variations. Compared to the Amazon Basics set, the Wera set is slightly less accurate, as seen in the pics. The price of the Wera and Amazon Basics were about the same, but the Amazon Basics came with a complete set of both metric and SAE. 5mm Hex end/Ball end Wera 4.93/4.81 Amazon 4.94/4.95 2.5mm Hex end/Ball end Wera 2.43/2.44 Amazon 2.43/2.43
