Bahco 9770 BE-9770 1.5 - 10mm Hex Key Set

I have used and many sets before and all of them get bent or stripped quickly, this set however is much better they feel very solid and so far working great, they're also extra long so you handle any stubborn screws and they're round on one end so you can use them at non straight angle without risk of stripping the screw.

Bahco tools are well made, always high quality, accurate sizes, excellent performance over their life and represent good value, as you will probably not need to purchase another.

Superb quality and a great price. I've got a few bahco tools and cases and have never had any issues with any of them.

This is quite a nice set for the money. My go to Allen keys have been Wera Hex Plus for a little while which I love as they're particularly good on rusted fasteners.I needed a new set of Allen keys for work and thought I'd give these a whirl as they're cheap enough that if I leave one behind, I'm not going to cry about it.I haven't used all of the sizes yet as most of the fasteners I come across are 2.5-5mm though I have also used the 10mm.The keys are a very tight fit on the fasteners which is what you want to avoid slippage. They are almost a little fiddly to get seated properly but this is a good thing really. The ball end bites well and makes life easier when working in awkward spaces.Theres very little flex in the keys, particularly on the larger sizes, I'm not sure what material they're made of but it's certainly a good quality metal. Other reviews mentioned that they rust easily which I can see as a possibility. They appear to have come treated with some sort of oil based coating to help prevent corrosion and while this feels a bit sticky, I will not be cleaning it off!The holder is a bit cheap and cheerful but holds the keys very securely. The set that these have replaced in my work tool box used to fall out regularly. And I mean regularly... Every time I arrived on site they would be scattered around my tool box... With the Bahco however, there is no chance of this happening as the holder is properly sized to keel them in place. The only negative to this is that at first, the keys can be quite difficult to remove from the holder, this does however ease up.Overall, for the money I don't think you'll better this set. I think if I could only own one set of Allen keys, I'd still stick with my Wera but then they're more than double the price! And the multi coloured finish isn't exactly to everyone's taste so these Bahcos are definitely recommended.

UPDATE 23/09/2022 - Well... its been a great journey with my set. After just 5 long years of abuse... they are still holding up... but! I have decided to replace them with the same Bahco type. Not because anything major... I found using one of my smaller sized keys, just didn't seem to fit right anymore. No too misshapen. It was a delicate job and it just didn't seem to feel quite at home. Didnt want to chew the cap screw. So I thought its time to get a new set.These will still be in service as my back up/dont mind mashing/bashing stuff.UPDATE 20/12/2020 - These are still going strong. With almost daily abuse over the last few years. Used not only for there intended purpose, but to help prise or align those bolt holes that are just askew. Ring spanners placed around it to give that extra leverage on those tight cap screws or smacked with a hammer. They've never let me down. Still not rounded the ends. I think my 6mm has an ever so slight warp to the length of it. But hardly noticeable. But that's to be expected. If anything i would have expected it sooner. I think if it ever comes to replacing these, I would purchase again with no hesitation. I'd say I still have a good few years left in the life of these. More chance of having to replace due to loosing them somewhere.31/07/2017 - Well known brand. Use them every day in my profession as a compressed air engineer. Used them offshore on oil rigs. Ships. Factories. On big and small applications. Some have had a good battering and still good to go with no warping or chewed ends.

I really like these. Well made.

This is a great little set strong and compact , I have used this set a lot since buying and i am very pleased with it , I've bought my son a set as he is a professional mechanic he is also very pleased with his set , ideal for motorbikes , mountain bikes as they are compact enough to fit in a small bag , Also bigger things cars etcSome people have commented that they are very tight to release them from there holder , this is to stop them falling out accidentally when not in use like some sets do , just raise the smaller end slightly away from it's holder until the key goes loose then pull out of holder , when putting back with the small end of key raised slightly from holder slide it in then press the small end of the key down flat against the holder and this will lock the keys firmly back in place , no more lost keys great little quality set for the money . I'm very happy with this very nice quality set . hope this helps .

As we all know, the materials and heat treatments are game changers in this case. So after more than 1year of daily use I can say they are excellent.
