Hex Screwdrivers

[PC PaiN]

Wanting to add a set of hex screwdrivers to the box and the Bondhus 74637 looks pretty good.

Anyone have this set? Also does snap on offer anything like this? I'm not seeing anything looking through their website

I was thinking the same thing the other day but I couldn't find a decent set. Are these metric and SAE? They look nice.

 

[PC PaiN]

The set I posted is SAE. They also offer a metric set.

More tools to buy. I have Allen keys in sets. Also as bits for a ratcheting screwdriver. I even have them as sockets. Now your telling me I have to go get them in stand alone screwdriver form. Going to need a bigger tool box soon.

I am not 100% convinced this is useful. 6mm above hex really need leverage of a ratchet or hex key to break loose. 7mm is on caliper pin bolt, 8mm is on strut bars, 10mm is differential drain plug or bicycle cranks, 30+ ft lbs where I don't see how this is a screwdriver application.

It's more for quick assembly. Same purpose as nutdrivers and such.


Also, I wouldn't get the prohold as your primary set, just get the standard ones and prohold after if you really like them as a secondary set. The little detent to slot into the head gets old after a while.

I have a older usa made craftsman set. sometimes they are the best tool you have. Just like it is always said right tool for the right job.... Well worth having in your box. I am not a pro, I am just putter in my personal garage...

I have a Milwaukee 10 in 1 hex screwdriver and it has come in handy from time to time. Not in a professional environment, however I feel they are of at least decent quality. I have the Torx 10 in 1 and the ratcheting multibit driver and feel they are of good quality as well. I recently took apart a 2005 Mercedes CLK 320 dash and my Wera Torx T-20 screwdriver did not fit the head of the screws as well as the bit from the Milwaukee screwdriver did. I was surprised to find this as my Wera's have served me well taking apart interiors.

I got the long handle versions for work and they are absolutely fantastic.

If you need more torque on the bigger sizes then put an open end wrench on them or slide the box end on them. We used the older Bondhus's on our dragster back in the day because my dad loved to use allen bolts for everything. I bought the pro holds when i decided to buy some and filled in the gaps with the regular ones if the pro holds werent available. The handles are comfortable.

Wiha makes a set in the soft finish/magic ring as well

I believe PB Swiss makes a range with the screw holding type ball head; may be cost prohibitive (or not).

I'll have to find those. I haven't seen anything other than proholds yet.

Same thing here. I love them!

But OP, I htink I only paid 30-40 bux a set...either Amazon, Zoro sale, or Enco sale. 80 bux is wayyy too much.

I agree. I use hex socket bits, on a spinner handle for quick assembly, then a ratchet/torque wrench for final tightening.

Though the longer shafts on the hex drivers could have an advantage where access might not allow a socket...

I have the bondhus hex screwdrivers without the pro hold and they're great. You can't go wrong with hex keys or screwdrivers and Bondhus. I bought SAE in the black finish and I got the metric in briteguard.

Those are the exact ones I bought from that supplier. They are an authorized Bondhus dealer, so i'm sure it was the best price as I was shopping around.

Showing about $40 for me on amazon.

I definitely will pick some up. They are some jobs that I don't want to use my SO t handles for and that the socket style hex drivers are definitely more cumbersome. Everyone needs like 6 different styles of hex drivers right ?

I used this set in field for 13 years and I have no complaints. I've abused them and they are good as new.

Depends on what you're doing. I have hex sockets, screwdrivers, keys (long, short, stubby, ball) and find a use for all of them.

 

[Tellingthem]

If you have a Menards near you they sell them as singles or 7pc sets. They are made by Pratt-Read
Metric
SAE

I know. It's why I have so many LOL

I don't believe Menard's has a single store in the great state of Texas

 

[jrobb316]

Probably not, but i'll be at Menards tomorrow if you want a set

Real happy with my SO's I've had for the past 20 some years.
