That would be a useful update but the personal attack is unnecessary.

Fake news!
Handles are aluminum, the actual wrench parts are chrome vanadium steel. Not saying it's great steel, but aluminum would be a cruel joke.

Nice price and it has its place, but the holder gets in the way when do some tight spaced jobs. So a second set is in order, T handle type are nice but of course you pay for that.

Quote from wherestheanykey :
Iconian really shouldn't make tool posts.

The highlight of this set is that they're ball-end, but nowhere was that mentioned.

If you're buying IKEA furniture and don't have a power drill, ball-end Allen wrenches help out quite a bit.
wherestheanykey shouldn't be allowed to post comments. Below is the benefit of ball end allen wrenches and yet nowhere was it mentioned.

"Ball end hex drivers allow misalignment between the screw and the driver. You can drive at an angle. This is useful when you can't fit the driver in straight. They are not as good for high torque though, since there's less engagement surface so the driver can break or strip the head more easily."

Note, this is aluminum, not hardened steel. If I'm reading that correctly. Which means could wear out the edges of the head easily, if used with any significant Force. I know most applications that require forced probably should not be using hex Allen wrenches but, let's just be honest about it. Don't expect long life from them

These are not "long arm" keys. Those would be single hex units that exceed the usual length. But what would I know--I'm only a federally licensed journeyman with 35+ years experience.:https://www.amazon.com/Wiha-66994...23&sr=1-19

Think twice, they are not practical to use. Individual allen wrenches are far better
