Hi,

I bet most of you have the same big collection of hex keys as I do. Regular L shaped, socket drive mounted ones, T handle ones. Probably no need to get any more.

But I recently got a set of metric and imperial Wiha ergostar with the magic retaining rings.
Not cheap, but they are pretty nice.
Long L shaped. Ball end as nice if not nicer than my Allen and bonhus branded. But the ball end has an embedded c clip type thing that holds the fastener on the ball. Really great when you have to reach in a tight spot to get the fastener into position.
And they come in a superbe holder. Rotating one of the hex keys rotates them all out ninety degrees for really easy access. Everyone I’ve showed them to have been taken with the tool holder .
I’d recommend them, especially to drop hints about xmas gift :-)
