Sad day in American manufacturing
One was shaped like a banana. I mean come on, you had one job. A bent Hex key?? It was fully packaged and could not have happened in shipping or anything, it was just plain bent and must have been that way when some Bondhus temp hire stuffed it in the holder. Also, the balls on the stubby end are not the same shape as the ball on the long end; not as crisp lines or form. That being said, I needed the 4mm the other day and it worked perfect. So, manufacturing quality aside, the tool itself is very handy to have at times. Should have bought Taiwanese I guess...

Brilliant tool for limited access
I bought the fractional Bondhus set of double ball end hex wrenches for a motorcycle intake seal swap and they made the job so much simpler and easier than it would have been otherwise I decided I had to have the metric set as well. These aren't going to take as much torque as a traditional hex key admittedly but when you get that one hex bolt way back in somewhere you can't get to without disassembling half of what you're working on you'll be glad you have them. At the price I'm more than happy to buy them and never need them. If you never have a bolt you need them for you'll be a lucky man, but if ever you do you'll be grateful you have them.

Great tool for tight-space tightening of hex head fasteners
Just what I needed to tighten some hex locknuts on a few items in the house. Seem sturdy, and allow you to get at a locknut you can't reach with the manufacturers' cheap little allen wrenches. Used for a towel rack and curtain rod that are mounted close to a wall. Sizes are metric for the set I bought but the next-to-smallest (2MM?) worked fine on the teensy imperial size locknuts for both of these items that kept coming away from the wall because I wasn't able to tighten them. Both ends - the long straight end and the angled end - have ball-ends that work at pretty darn tight angles.

Short ends are too short
Maybe I should have recognized this based on the photo, but it didn't occur to me. The short ends of these are flat out too short to be manipulated by human hands. Attempting to use these to work on an RC nitro truck, which means fasteners driven into plastic, and after about the sixth screw the tips of my fingers are screaming. Tried using pliers on the short ends, no go, just end up dropping things all over the place. The ball end on the long side is great, but a bad idea on the short side, it just wobbles all over as you apply torque. Do yourself a favor, pass on these, get something with a T handle or similar.

I bought Bondhus for the reputation
I was a little disappointed because I chose Bondhus for its quality. I purchased both SAE and metric sets. Both sets had bowed keys on the smallest sizes.

Stubby ball end metric hex wrenches!
Long handle, stubby angled end, both ends with hex ball ends. This is what you have wanted for tight spaces. Great quality! I use these for regular maintenance on continuous forms, ink jet and toner industrial production printers. Many people grind down their hex wrenches to achieve what these offer, but they don't have ball ends like these for blind insertion into screw heads. Bondhus provides true professional quality tools for both DIY and Professional daily use.

Slip out too easily
The angle of the short end is perfect for avoiding catching your hands on nearby surfaces.Unfortunately the ball ends slipped out of the cap head bolts I was undoing / tightening too easily.I have ordered another set of Bondhus hex keys, but with a single ball end. Unfortunately they don’t have the same angle as these.

Top quality wrenches
I have a large guitar collection and some require adjustments to the neck's truss rod via a very tight opening where the neck meets the body. Ordinary hex wrenches are too long on the "L" (short) end to fit the small opening. These stubbies are exactly what's needed for this condition, and the ball ends make it even easier to insert.The wrenches are well made but the black surface finish is a bit "gritty". This makes them stick in the plastic holder and is a extremely difficult to slide them out. Rubbing the surface with a rough towels helps to smooth it out.

Exactly as described and in retail packaging
Perfect transaction. Item arrived promptly and internal packaging was identical to brick and mortar retailer. Length is good for both access to recessed fasteners and for leverage on stubborn fasteners. Finish is great and seems to be extremely corrosion resistant. The 15 degree angle with Ball end is the perfect combination and makes the best connection between fastener and tool. No slipping / stripping so far. Good product. Great service by supplier.
