Re: [RBW] Re: Best allen keys?

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks. One reason I chose the folding collection is that I want sets for
each of 3 bikes, and it was much cheaper to by the folding sets than to buy
3 each of the individual keys I need, 3 or 4 depending on the bike (5, 4,
2.5 or 3 for Shimano pedal tension, and a 6 for the 2 with NItto quill
stems).

I've 2 sets of Bondhus screwdriver-handled ball wrenches, and 2 good Park Y
allen sets, as well as various allen bits for various handles; so for the
workbench, I am already set.

[RBW] Re: Best allen keys?

[Garth]

  I have taken the GorillaGrip Bondhus folding tool with me for so long 
I can't remember when I bought it, but glad to see they still make it. It's 
the one that has 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6mm hex size.  I also have a an 
old Craftsman , and the two of them are quality .  I carry an MT-1 for 
emergency use with my brakes but I'd never use it daily, it took me 
measuring 3 or 4 from REI before I could find one that was actually not way 
under spec, Park of course when contacted gave the usual song and dance 
about their tools being guaranteed for life but not guaranteed to be 
properly made to start with, apparently !  Not all their tools, just 
certain ones. 


  For tires I also carry ye ol' Quickstick, man these are the best. I don't 
know when the last was I actually used a tire lever, and so glad for that !

Re: [RBW] Re: Best allen keys?

[Patrick Moore]

The problem with many if not all of the multi tools I've used is that the
allens are not of the best quality, and (IME) after some use seem to risk
rounding out the allen holes.

I bought this set by Park a few years ago for a lot less than shown here. 
It is excellent.

Thanks, Steve. For now, I've ordered folding collections by Bondhus on
Amazon; $6.62 each and no additional charge for shipping.

What do others think? Certainly cheaper than Bondhus (tho' those I ordered

I recommend whatever they sell at your local Home Depot, or Lowes or
Menards or whereever.

Its just an allen key, the trick is not to use them all the time.   If you
do, just grind them down on a grinder to get brand new fresh faces.I
have a coffee cup on my bench full of keys with just a nub of the L left on
them.

[RBW] Re: Best allen keys?

[ascpgh]

Another Bondhus vote. I have the loose L-shaped and the T-handled ones with 
the ball tip only. These are from 1989-90. The loose ones I keep in a waxed 
canvas wrap in the seat bag of my Rambouillet.

Patrick, I would second or third the Bondhus. I have a large collection of
Allen wrenches or keys that I haven't touched since I bought the Bondhus.
I believe Riv still sells the single Bondhus Allens. I carry them in my
tool roll. Bob

I prefer singles but if you prefer the folding sets they have a lot to

Its often cheaper to buy a set than individual.

Look for Bondhus 12292 or HLX7MS (made in the USA)

[RBW] Re: Best allen keys?

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks, all, some good choices at reasonable prices (Bondhus especially),
but I should have been more precise: are there any good ones in the short
"L" shaped design? These will go in seat wedges.

I see Bondhus has inexpensive folding collections; now I need to find a
local source, or a mail order source that does not bundle the metric with
an unneeded Imperial set.

Further suggestions for short singles (preferred) or folding collections?
