SAE/Metric Ball End Hex Key Set (26-Piece)

I bought this set to replace a 30 yr old loose set that got wet & rusted. I really like that this set has both SAE & metric all in a small carry case which folds and takes up very little room in your tool case. Many times when you see that you need an Allen wrench you don't know which size nor if t's SAE or metric. Before I used to take a few of each size & type with me and then after I was done having to put 6 or 8 back. With this set you can just carry the whole thing, pull out what you need, if that doesn't work just slide it (or click it) back into its holder and try the next size, very cool! When the case is folded it's very easy to see the 2 different sides, so lets say if the SAE wrench is too loose and the next size too tight, then you can see the metric wrenches not even an inch and a half away, and choose one of them to try. A few things, the Allen wrenches have a light coating of oil on them, which will help with keeping them rust free, so I use gloves when using them. The 360 picture on the HD website doesn't show the white clasp that can keep the tools together (see pic below). I was not able to get the little white ball of the plastic latch into the other side, so I figured it might be a pain to get it off later, so I just left it undone. The set actually stays folded pretty much by itself and really doesn't need the clasp, but you could use a rubber band. I like that this set has the ball ends on the long side, as it's handy when you're in a tight spot and need to access an Allen head bolt at an angle. Each side of the case opens up for better access to the smaller wrenches, When the case is opened the wrenches can be pulled toward you or taken out thru the top hole. The spline has holes for hanging on a wall. I really like that each wrench is clearly marked in white on the case, as well as etched into the side of each wrench (I couldn't find it on the .05, but could just be me not having a magnifier strong enough to see it! LOL...but all the others had it.) To conclude this set well made & well thought out and is a true bargain, esp. with the lifetime guarantee! If you're a heavy duty user of this type of tool, you might want to move up to the new diamond ended wrenches that Husky line now has.

Husky SAE/Metric Ball End Hex Key Set (26-Piece). Ball ends work great, folds up nice for belt or toolbox.

Using this all the time. Having standard and metric sizing is great.

I send it to Cuba, they said , it’s ok

Bought this set as a replacement for an earlier version of the same brand kit I had misplaced. The quality of the keys themselves is up to snuff and while I initially liked the more compact design of the holder, it has proven itself to not be durable at all. The plastic moulded holder has already broken after only a couple of weeks kicking around in the bottom of my tool bag - granted its more abuse than most people will subject it to. Bottom line, the keys are great, the holder not so much.
