    Buying my first set of tools

    I do a lot of work on bikes (the non-motorized kind) - all hex head. If you're set on buying T-handle hex wrenches, may I suggest the Wiha 33496 8-piece metric on amazon for a similar price ($38.03 now), or Wiha 33489 (same set in holder for $44.38). The dual-ended soft grip handles are more...
