Double-Ended T-Handle Hexagon Key Set

[Nomadski]

That

* Doesn't have those ball ends
* Is good quality
* Doesn't cost £70 like the Park Tools one.

Anyone have recommendations?

The Park Tools set are Bondhus, aren't they all expensive?

These have ball ends but I find them really handy... and 20 quid for the set? Bargain!

They look really good but Ive heard hex keys with ball ends are more likely to damage the bolt?

 

[BimblingBee]

They are really handy, not sure about damaging the heads. I guess you could do that with normal ones if your cack handed!

 

[Nomadski]

Think I'll give them a go, cheers.

You may get a better deal.

I use the ball ends for accessing difficult to get bolts, use them to turn them until they start getting tight then shift to a conventional allen key to apply torque (and put up with the difficult access for these final turns). No real risk of ball ends damaging sockets if used in this way.

Already ordered a set from previous, but will keep these ones in mind if I need more in the future, thanks.
