Wera 05022640001 950/9 Hex-Plus Multicolour Imperial 2 L-Key Set, Imperial, BlackLaser, 9 Pieces

Bought for my husband he loves them and says they work really well!

These WERA allen keys are absolutely amazing. Been using this for over a year now and they are holding up really well. I like that the size of the allen key is written in big letters on it, and of course the color coding is great when they're scattered on a table. Solid value and I would purchase these again, except I don't think they're breaking on me anytime soon. I actually prefer using these over my metric WIHA set which was way more expensive. These feel a bit more ergonomic in my hand.

The best Allen wrenches you can get!!! Don’t strip out fasteners!!! Very highly recommended!!!!

I love these Allen keys. I have multiple sets. Ones in my home tool box, my truck box, my on the go tool box, my boat and my range bag. They fit awesome. They are extremely durable. The coating on them is so nice feeling on your hands.

Best hex keys on the market.

Very nice hex keys.

These are heavy

This brand was recommended to me by a friend, and when it came time to purchase a new set of allen wrenches I went with Wera. I was immediately attracted to the girth and weight of these tools. They feel good in the hand and are a pleasure to use. But. There are a few problems. First, the plastic holder they come in is a POS. The hinge seems flimsy and likely to break, and the tools are maddeningly difficult to remove. I found myself avoiding this set in favor of my older worn out tools just so I didn't have to wrestle them free. I finally chucked the d@mn things when I found that Wera offers a ballistic nylon holder for these wrenches. Not available on Amazon as far as I can tell. I found them at Chadstoolbox.com They are still not perfect. Bulky and a bit awkward to store and carry, but far easier to use. Second, for reasons I struggle to comprehend, the color coding on the the imperial set is the exact same for the metric set. Which, in my mind, partially defeats the purpose of color coding. If I still have to check the label to make sure I have the correct wrench, what's the point? Worse, as far as I can tell the size of the wrench is ONLY printed on the the colored sleeve. So if, as other reviewers have noted, the sleeve begins to tear and needs to be removed, you're no better off than when you had that drawer full of random unorganized allen wrenches. And finally, the colored sleeve has ZERO slip resistance. I work in a machine shop. Everything is covered in cutting oil, or way oil, all the time. These tool require a thorough wipe down before each use or they simply slip right out of your hand. Again, this seems like a major design flaw. All in all I like these tools. But I think they will end up in my home garage where the demands are lighter rather than in my shop where serious rigorous work is required of every tool. Hopefully Wera can revisit this tool and update the details so they are more appropriate for professionals rather than just enthusiastic amateurs. Update 8/1/23: I discovered another major bummer with this wrench set. After several jobs where I struggled to find a wrench that fit my needs, I realized that this imperial wrench set is missing a few sizes that are standard in other sets. This set is missing .050, 1/16, 7/64, 9/64, and 3/16 wrenches. You'll have to buy those separately. Only the 3/16 is the same style as the kit. Here on Amazon those 5 wrenches will cost almost as much as the kit did. For this reason alone I would have a hard time recommending this tool set. : (
