Anybody ever heard of powerbuilt sliding t-handle hex wrenches? Or have experience with them?

While I would love a set of Beta or PB swiss the cost is outstanding. Especially when I can get a set of standard Bonduhs t-handels for $30.

But I'm interested in the sliding type with hex on the short sides. The usga with offset hex on the handles would be a nice feature also but again $200 is a bit steep.

Note: used in industrial maintenance. Most of our study is metric hex.

I think Powerbuilt is (or was) an economy house brand for tools sold at Menards. Don't know if you're talking about the same brand or not.

I don't think Bondhus makes a sliding T-handle but they do build good quality tools.

I believe they were also carried by O'Reilly's before the switch to Power Torque

Amazon had a deal on them and I ended up getting the metric and standard sets. I'll see how they hold up.

On initial review they seem decent other than the rings that hold the slide handle and spinning sleeve in place. The cross slide for the handle is maybe a bit short. the spinning sleeve takes up most the shaft on the smaller sizes which means no deep holes.

I'll try and update later as I get more time with them.
