Allen keys

[fossyant]

I have a park tools fold out hex key set (looks like a swiss army knife)

I use these a fair amount - dead handy as they are all together - a few more than a couple of quid though. I also have a stack of other allen/hex keys of various makes, but the Park ones are very handy.

you get what you pay for, quite apart from being durable and not wearing to make it easier to strip and damage the heads

and they'll be more exactly sized, making it harder to etc etc

OK! I will let rip... Draper tools are poo.

Screwfix unbranded likewise.

Cheap ball end tools will give you grief. Chewed up sockets and all the rest. You really don't need that in the dark, when it is raining.

Buy the good stuff.

Hello All, I won a Cased Set of MAKITA Allen Keys and every other type of Key and attachment to fit in a Drill. They seem to be very good, dread to think what they cost. All I did was put a Caption to a Cartoon in a Plumbing Magazine.

Bondhus gorilla grip folding set. Got it free when I was buying sets of hex keys for work. If you can break these on a bike then you're using the wrong tool for the job.
