  1. Hopefully the title makes sense? I've got loads of allen keys, a set of Bergen hex bit sockets and what's in my Halfords screwdriver set. I fancy a set of hex keys with handles like proper mechanics use.
    Any suggestions for a brand that's not too pricey but reasonable quality?
    Thanks
    Neil

  2. Do you mean T Bars?

    I use Teng. They’ve served me well so far

  4. Teng are good but WERA hex plus are the mutts. Not sure if they are available in t handle but I have both the L set and socket set. The L set is exemplary.

  8. The set you have linked to handles every Allen bolt on the 748 apart from the 14mm swing arm bolt. My set has been with me and used and abused for two years Including 3 bike strip downs and rebuilds. I have bent one of the small keys (3mm?) in that time but it is still better than any other one I have. I like Halfords Pro tools but won’t use their hex keys on my bike as they are not precise enough.

  11. Facom, Beta, Bondhus all worth checking out.
    Have a look on Prime Tools, reasonable pricing

  13. Teng T bars for me, ball end on the long arm and standard end on the short arm.
    An ergonomic handle bright red and yellow so easy to locate.
    Not cheap but excellent quality.
