Bondhus Prohold Hex Bits

[gdocktor3]

Anyone recently buy or use Bondhus Prohold torx or hex bits? I ordered the 6" mm and sae bits without the sockets. It was $35 for 12. 6 and 6. I read mixed reviews about them, but they were all from a few years ago. Some said they didn't fit well. I decided to try them because they say they are good for impact sockets. Guess we'll see. Any input?

I love them but I do wear out the common sizes, just means some new L keys, bits and some ball drivers every so often.

I have them. Spent the extra coin and got the ones with sockets already on them. I have multiple sets. If I wear one out or break it, I just mail it to Bondhus for no questions asked replacement. Meanwhile because I have duplicates, I'm not doing without, until the new one comes in.

My boss showed me a sample we got, I think it is neat. Our application was for holding onto fasteners where a magnetized key would not.

We never bought them because of the price difference.

EDIT: I wanna get the pb swiss ones, but those are freaking top of the food chain.

I just ordered a Bondhus (ball end) 9 piece set of 5/16 to 1/2 (PN 11036) and 2mm to 12mm (PN 11099) from a company in Texas for $32.98.
I've been very happy with my regular Bondhus hex keys and I expect these will be as good.

The only reason I didn't buy them with the sockets is because I have 3/8" impact sockets I hardly ever use. Apparantly they are impact gun approved so I figure I can use the bits with them. They say that are compatible with any socket and can be easily removed, but online reviews are saying they must be hammered in and out, and they don't always fit snug. As I mentioned, these comments were from a few years ago though. Maybe things have improved. Either way I will see for myself in a few days.
