Best T-Handle Allen Set Needed

[PartsGuy27]

I had a 2006 999S that I sold last summer...it was mostly hex. Are the newer Duc's torx now? My BMW's are probably 99.9% torx...which, I've grown to love, actually. Many people seem to swear at them; I think I'm in the "swear by them" camp.

Ooh the 999, so ugly but so cool!

I'd say it's a mix of torx and hex, at least on my Monster that is.

I also like the torx fasteners, but I hate the inverted torx or the "E" style.

It was a love it or hate it style, but honestly, IMO, one of the last "cool" featured bikes. The rake was user-adjustable; the tank, seat, tail moved fore/aft into 3 positions, all based on user desire...the pegs had all sorts of positions to mount in. It was just a fantastic bit of engineering. Yet somehow simple compared to today's bikes.

And NOTHING could beat the sound of that Termi pipe...on full boil or just a relaxed on/off the throttle pace. It would carve corners just looking at them and thinking about it....

I need a few minutes to myself....


Sorry everyone - didn't mean to jack the thread up with Ducati-love.

Snap-on are rebranded Eklind, correct? I should look at the equivalent thread.

They're re-branded Bahco, i find them excellent.

Does anyone have any experience with Inbus? It seems like in Germany, they are synonymous with hex head T handles, just like Allen is with L keys here in the US. But unlike Allen which offshored production from the US, Inbus is still made in Germany. I'm curious if anyone had used them personally or has any experience they could share.

I thought Apex shut down down Allen at the same time they shut down Armstrong. Is that not the case?

Did they? I don't know. These are the ones I was referring to, which you can still buy at Home Depot and other stores.
