Check tease little guys out.

I saw these at fastenal and had to have a set

Made by hex pro, I believe in Taiwan (bummer) distributed by a company in mission viejo, ca. I believe they are rebranded by several names.

Pretty cool little guys, they feel solid and come with a lifetime warranty.

Some time back my local sears had them on sale and I picked up a set, very nice tools enjoy them.

 

[Polski-Chevy]

Those look like a lot of awesome!

Price?

 

[Hafen_Kafer]

i want those!

 

[Rsanchez91]

$40-50 depending on your supplier.

 

[BK13]

You ****... I think you just cost me some money...

Trust me I went to fastenal 3 times before I finally gave in, I had to have them.

 

[sabercatt]

nice, but they get you to buy a set of torx if you ever need to tighten them up (or take them apart). someone was thinking

I did notice that, I don't think they make a torx set. A good reason to. Buy a new set of torx

EDIT: I lied, they do make a 10 piece torx set. Here's a link for purchases from hex pro

I bought a set a couple of years ago , they work great.

 

[bonneyman]

Great! Now I know what the thing was!

Of course, I turned it into a chamber cleaner. Works great!

Very crafty! A chamber cleaner for what?

 

[redline380]

Those would work great it tight places. You could even put a socket on the end and have a long skinny hex.

How was the threading of the end? I would think a high quality hex key would be a bit tough to thread.

no neat sig line

You could use it to clean a gun barrel chamber, or a machined inlet, or any tight job that needs cleaning and you need a flexible shaft to get around obstructions.

 

[oldldh]

Too nice...

I really, really didn't need those until your post...

I really, really hate you now...

Oh well, it's only money...

Gearwrench makes a version which looks very similar (rebadge?), but a smaller size kit than above.

Very true but only a 5 pc set

Very true but only a 5 pc set

sniped my edit but yes.

And I fancy the roll case. Suppose it depends if you want it in your drawer.

I could see myself using these for bikes.

In a pinch, this gives me an idea...I have that 1/4" breaker bar I never use. Maybe I can get some metric hex-allen sockets for that, would be nice in a touring bike tool kit. Add in a 1/4" extension and that'd be a great little bike tool.

 

[aluminum13]

If you really want to get fancy get yourself a 1/4" roto with good locking mechanism that'll really hold the socket. Or simpler a good 1/4" breaker bar with a solid ball indent mech.

Get these sockets. (usa made?)

And maybe add in a locking extension.

Ok the hex pro is cool and a simple dedicated tool (and can't drop sockets), I'm just more of a multi-purpose sort of guy.

 

[Dz_speed]

Awesome, I want!

COO??? (Sorry, always wanted to say that!).

 

[cgv69]

Yup, this thread is going to cost me

 

[Farmall450]

Sweet. Now I want some...

 

[the gypsy]

****, I thought I had everything! Now I gotta take out the wallet, clean off the spiderwebs and spend some money.

 

[Ft.ValloniaStreaker]

Ive been bidding on them on ebay....some people just want them more than I do......They're $40-50 new off the Cornwell truck

 

[Thunderbisciut]

Those are cool. I won't buy them since I can just use a small breaker with a bit socket, but those are still cool.

 

[briz]

I have 2 sets and use them every day. theyre great. I have had to warranty a few- not the tools fault, I use one size constantly. The woman I dealt with for the warranty was the inventors wife! Great experience and I will definitely buy more.

I just looked at the Hexpro website and it appears they have been bought by Bondhus.

 

[fitz11]

Has anybody used the astro pneumatic double jointed ones?

Man, I wish I had known about those double jointed ones a few months ago.

Reminds me of a old girlfriend.

Nice.

I have the Gearwrench set I got from Woot. Only had the chance to use them a couple of times but I really like the design. That larger set would be better for me though.

Kind of what I was thinking .....
