The one hex wrench that I need is always the one hex key misplaced. This set keeps them attached in a hard to loose package. Covering SAE-, metric-, and star-key sizes, this set is worth their target price just for the convenience. Those who are always organized and who invariably put their tools back in the right place can probably pass on this set, but the rest of us benefit greatly by keeping the set locked together. And having the keys mounted in order of size saves time by not having to 'dig' through the 'pack' of loose hex keys.

We have individual hex keys spread out throughout our home and shop for the various applications where they're frequently used (e.g., bicycle tool kit, scroll saw). This set attached pocket-knife-style insures that we'll always have the needed size back in our main tool supply.

This is a quality tool from Harbor Freight. Individual hex keys work best for some applications and simple sets can be purchased from a number of retailers at this price and even lower, but the convenience factor makes them well worth the target price for many of us.

Bottom line: This hex-key set is a great convenience, always having the right-sized hex key on-hand, and not a bad buy at the target price.

This review and discussion forum was created for those of us who love Harbor Freight(tm). It's well known to those who frequent the store that the prices are always cycling up and down, and most of us usually accept it as a personal challenge to get the lowest price possible. It's also well appreciated that some products at Harbor Freight are good, even very good, but that many others are also substandard, yes, even junk. This review and discussion forum is dedicated to the savvy Harbor Freight shopper and is intended to provide some guidance to the best and the worse buys. Similar products from other retailers will also be reviewed from time-to-time. Please be advised that everyone's experience is unique, and what works well (or doesn't work at all) for the reviewers here may or may not suit your personal needs.
