I'd like a set of soft T handled Torx and ball-end hex keys - preferably from the same manufacturer but I've been burned by a set of crappy ones in the recent past that weren't all that was claimed.

This diagram shows the issue with some - and it's not limited to the cheap ones either.



Does anyone have any recommendations that are known to be the "good" type please?

The Bondhus keys are all steel, and I like that they allow you to "twirl" them quickly. They are probably what I am looking for but the lack of a short end/ large lever sort of irks a little mainly because I don't like to apply too much leverage to a ball-end.

Any further thoughts?

In the end I need a set for my cycle tool box, therefore a set of conventional L-shaped ones seemed sensible. So I have just clicked to buy the full set of Wera Hex, Torx and Security Torx (can't see those being useful for bikes but I couldn't resist completing the set).

I still fancy supplementing my garage tool set though so I have put the full set of Bondhus T handles on my Christmas list.

Thanks for the suggestions all.
