Craftsman  7 pc. Metric T-Through Handle Ball End Hex Key Set

I purchased this set 3 months ago. I had to purchase the whole set. Even though I only needed the size 3 and 5. I've had to go back to sears 8 times to replace these 2 sizes because the ends would get rounded out by the hex screw. And yes, I am using the correct sizes for the size screws I use. Just last night the number 3 hex key stripped out on me again. Completely rounded out the tip. And I just had it replaced last week. This wasn't from trying to tighten anything. It was from trying to loosen a screw.

I recently aquired a set of these ball end "T" handle allens.  They seem to be holding up quite well compaired to other brands I have purchased in the past.

Excellent quality and feel. They work great for the bolts on most Japanese sportbikes. The ball end is a great feature for akward positions.

These T handle Allen Key sets work great. I am a machine operator where I work,and the 9in. length with the ball head enables me to really get into tight places at an angle. Thanks Craftsman!!

Craftsman 7 pc. Metric T-Through Handle Ball End Hex Key Set, Light Gray, #46384

Comfortable Grip.  Better torque strength for me.  I used a pair of 6" peg hooks to hang them by size in my shop.  I used mineral oil on them before I put them on my peg hooks.  Outstanding easy opening packaging...Thank you. The bright Gray handle is nice looking. Easy to read size on the handle.  20% of the Craftsman replacement numbers on the hex shank were so small that they were unreadable even with a magnification glass.  The standard set was harder to read than the Metric set.  I got them 12/20/09 on sale $19.99.  Made in USA.

Bought them on sale before christmas = the set is worth paying full price for and completely awesome on sale. Packaging sucks, but who cares!!!! I cleared a drawer in my roll away for these - picked up metric, SAE and nut drivers - got them all. Craftsman quality and value all the way.

This is a tool that will be invaluable to people needing hex wrenches. The only problem with the wrench is the use in tight places. Other than that, a person will find the wrenches are very easy and handy to use. By having the offset hex, the wrench can now have more leverage than most long arm wrenches. The t-handle can be spun at a rate faster than using a ratchet, for most applications. I own several types of hex wrenches (regular hex, ratchet, insert bit, t-handle). I find my self using the t-handle wrenches more than the others, now that I have used them some. They are well worth the extra money spent from the price of regular hex wrenches.

Great product. Better than the any other Hex Key. The only "if" for this product is when you are working in tight areas - you will probably need the regular Hex Key set.
