matt_green84 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I have an ikea set, which when coupled with a made of cheese petrol station ratchet driver does me fine. Although, I only ever need a torx bit, 7mm, 5mm and a flat screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoner Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) I use this set, but the non ball end set. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bondhus-8pc-T-Handle-Ballpoint-Metric-Hex-Allen-Key-Set_W0QQitemZ150375418748QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Hand_Tools_Equipment?hash=item230312cb7c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Theyre awesome, have a heavy T-handle which acts like a flywheel so can spin screws out super quick, theyn have removed screws that my other wrenches have previously rounded out the heads. You can get them on ebay individually for cheap, free post too http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/TomsToolChest-BetaToolsUK_Hex-Allen-Keys_W0QQ_fsubZ180313319QQ_sidZ87157749QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322 i bought a few of the imperial sizes from this guy Edited October 11, 2009 by londoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) The Fastrax set imo are rubbish for the largescale,ive got a set and they just aint manly enough,threaded the grub screw that holds the shaft in,they might be ok for smaller scale but not largescale. And these ballends ? i thought they were bad because the dont sit in properly and end up rounding off the hex ?

hide Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 How about the EDS tools, what do you guys think of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 EDS tools are great. Good, grippy handles and tough tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shade82000 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I received a set of 5 Fastrax tools when I bought a car for spares off eBay. I think the handles are OK and the ends are cut so perfect that they fit in the ends of allen bolts just right, but the small grub screw that holds the handle and shaft together is very poor quality and all 5 worked loose and started spinning in the handles within days. I like the look of those Bondhus ones, could you tell me how long is the shaft on the shortest one? I'm considering getting a set but will only do so if they will reach into the hard to get at areas on my largescale cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
