Wiha 33496 8-Piece Soft Grip T-Handle Ball End Hex Metric

I've gotten tired of the mediocre quality of a lot of the tools these days. I have a few hex key, made (in America) 50 years ago that I like. But I don't have all the sizes. I bought some Harbor Freight sets, the "jack knife" style, but they feel flimsy, and are short. These (WIHA) hex keys are made in Germany. They are a good/generous length, and the handles are very comfortable. I previously got some Wiha Philips-head screwdrivers, because I'm tired of the tips of the other brands wearing out in a year or few. And I much prefer a real screwdriver, not a screwdriver bit in a handle. Bits in handles can fall out, and they don't fit down into recesses/holes. Wiha is now my preferred brand. They cost more, but I expect they will last a lot longer.

Glad to have upgraded to this set--it really is superior quality. Handles are fine, not sure what the soft grip is all about. Not sure it's really soft as much as it is grippy in a useful way. Using them gives me a feeling of using a very good tool for the job.

As described. Nice quality hex wrenches.

These things were not very good. I wouldn't recommend if you need to use them often. Once or twice might not be a problem, but constant use was their downfall. M3, M4, M5 socket head screws proved to be quite a match for these tools. The steel they used is so soft several different sizes stripped over the course of a couple days of use. Pretty upsetting because of the price, oh well.

Nice tools. Very handy. Have intended to buy these or something similar for a while. Buying an old BMW motorcycle made them a Must Have.

I use these multiple times a day setting up CNC machines. I had a set of Pittsburgh t-handles that I payed like $10 for, but I got sick of having to grind off the tips because they rounded over, especially the 4mm. These are the opposite. My only complaint is also praise: The tips are very hard. They will most certainly cam out your screw before the tools will round over. Not a problem if you don't over torque things.... but... stuff happens. The handles are easy to grab, even when your hands and the tool are covered with screw machine oil.

Nice plastic handles keep your hands from getting beat up and the tips don't round over. Definitely worth spending the little bit of extra money to get these instead of Chinese junk

Superb product, small shafts take the torque without breaking.

Product is well engineered and manufactured from ‘fit for purpose’ materials and , are good ergonomically. Overall a very good product
