This is a really good price on a Wera Hex L-Key Set. Metric Range: 1.5mm-10.0mm. From Amazon.

That is a good price for these. Thanks for sharing OP, would be all over them if I didn't already have them.

Can someone explain the advantage of using the L-key hex versus a hex screwdriver bit or hex socket? This is tempting, although I cannot really think of a good application for this.

Just bought a set.

I'm tired of fighting with the plastic pouch of Craftsman Hex L-Keys, and I can't read the tiny print on the Craftsman Keys and trying to sort through them to find the right size.

These look high quality, and I like the fact that they are stored in size order and have large print on the handle of the size. This looks like it will be easy to quickly find the right size. Also, I've been looking to get a set with the rounded tips that have some wiggle room.

I also have hex sockets, but only use them when I have to. The L-keys are nice to have.

I just got an email that mine already shipped. I bought from Wiseup Electronics, because they where $14.05 shipped from Wiseup. And I didn't need to pad up my order to $25 to get free shipping with Amazon.

It looks like Wiseup sold out, they don't show as a seller anymore.

So I looked at this post today, figured I wouldn't need those Torx keys yet and that I don't really have a use for them. So I tried using my highbeams tonight and it wouldn't work when used in the flash position... Fml. I need a T30 key to remove the airbag. Weird... Almost like I jinxed myself. The garagejournal curse. :(

The Wera shows back up to $26 at Amazon now. But I just ordered a metric set of Bondhus for $16.50. They are now including another set of the SAE sizes. I don't know anything about Bondhus, it says made in USA on the Amazon page. But here's hoping they are good. I didn't need another set of SAE, but at the $16 price for both sets.... First time I added the metrics to my Wish List, it was only the metrics, which was all I wanted. Two days later, I checked the link below and it included the SAEs, all same price. I ordered and am waiting.

More torque. Less (no) wobble. :thumbup:

Just received mine from Wiseup today. The packaging I think gets kind of beat up because it seems to be almost like a recycled cardboard, that starts to degrade quickly. But the tools inside are perfect. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure. One end has a ball end, the other end has sort of a concave twist that really bits tight into the fastener. The holder is very nice, and has a flip latch, and then opens up. I really like the fact that the sizes are printed on the handles very large. The overall size is very long, they are nice and meaty, and have a nice grip. I've been using the Craftsman ones in the plastic pouch that the size is impossible to read without a magnifying glass. I usually have to pour the Craftsman out on the bench, and sift through them to find the size. These Wera's are going to be easy to quickly pick the size you need, and put it back in the right place.

Very nice set. If these cycle back around to half price again, I'd recommend them.

In case anybody is looking for the Inch/SAE set to go along with this metric, the cheapest I could find it was 40 bucks on Zorotools. And of course you can use various coupon codes and free shipping offers from Zoro.

The only difference is that the inch set comes in a pouch instead of the clip.

I got the Inch/SAE set from Zorotools for about 30 bucks after coupon and free shipping with some other stuff. These are really NICE. I think I now like the pouch a lot more than the clip the metrics have. Very nice, in case anybody ordered the metric ones on the Hot Buy, and wants to round things off with the Inch/SAE set. These are really heavy duty, sturdy, and high quality. Highly recommended.

So I've got about 45 bucks into both sets.
