Facom T-Handle Hex Keys

[gtermini]

I was recently talking to a good friend of mine who is a winemaker and does a lot of repair on ultra high end winery equipment. He said someone else in the repair business had told him about these new Italian made allen wrenches that were the cat's ***. He didn't know the brand so I did some googling and we decided that it must be these new Facom ones. I am a dyed in the wool Snappy man, but would't hesitate to snag a set of these if they are as tough as this guy boasted.

So, has anyone had an experience with them?

They are spendy bastards at $168 plus freight for the set, but whatever...

I've had a few of those for five years or so. Well, at least one of them with black ends -- the other is fully satin chrome. They're super. Not that much different from a typical hex key, but very nice. As you'd expect, the "spinning" ability makes them fast on the right fasteners.

I'd probably not spend for them again, but they're beautifully made, for sure.

The Facom stuff that I have is top notch. IMO, they're worth the $$$.

Every single thing they make is incredible looking. These look well built as well. I don't have access to this stuff besides ebay but price=ouch. I wouldn't have any second thoughts buying anything they make to the degree I can stomach the asking price.

Damn, those are badass! I like how the hex bits on the top of the "T" are indexed differently on each side.

Shoot, I didn't even notice that. I think I'm sold on them.
