hey everyone,
I am looking to completely rid the need of allen keys from my box and i looked through different bit sets but none seem to have a full set (they skip the less common sizes). anyone know of a kit that has all allen key sizes, or at least most of them? also, any recommendations on security bit sets would be appreciated.
thanks,
Al

don't get rid of you standard L shaped Allen wrenches. Often times I come across screws that are recessed in holes that are WAY too small for the 1/4" driver to fit into. I have a set of ball end long reach Allens that have saved me a number of times. That said, if the 1/4" bit will reach, I'll be using it. X2 if i can use the drill or impact on it.

Are VIM good quality? What would they compare to? I've seen and heard of VIM before but I know nothing about the quality. Thanks for any help.

VIM is top notch. Never been disappointed.
Seriously? As good as the tool trucks/sk/etc?
Cause I'm looking at some of their bit sets-hex/torx and I love some of their offerings. If the tools are that good I'll be placing a nice order.

Seriously? I love hearing that, especially for the prices.

Exactly. And also get the short/stubby version sets as well. With these two kinds of sets, you are pretty much covered trying to remove anything.
