Today I acquired...........

[RichardM]

I have had a set of the ball end version for a couple of years - excellent so far.

 

[25.4_mechanic]

Wera sell imperial hex key sets too. I have some I bought a couple of years ago to go with the multicolour metric set

Very good investment. I don't think I've rounded off any hex hex bolts since

Wera makes a lot of good tools.

With the cheap set from today let's see how many more sizes I find a need for at the ML7 - after a while I'll buy those in top-quality.

I got a controller from Alibaba that turns an old laptop screen into a TV/monitor, it has hdmi vga composite video usb and antenna tuner inputs, power by 12 volts so quite portable.

I deliberately went for the normal ends, ball end can be good in some circumstances but they can be a pain when trying to start a screw where access is limited and you are having to try and use the key to get it in place.
The other set I was thinking about getting was these Bondhus ones.

Decided the Wera Hex-Plus may be better on the shallow sockets that the button heads on the Africa Twin has. They are shallower than normal as Honda has kept the one size head and hex which is what a normal M8 button head would have but they are M6 and even some M5.

They’re cool. What sort of make is bondhus? Not come across them.

I have recently discovered flex head sockets so these hex keys look equal useful

I think Bondhus are a top tier make, certainly any I have used have been good. USA made or at least they used to be.

Good -unconditional warranty on tools -that I've never had to use with any of the allen keys or allen drivers I've had of theirs. Not inductrial use, but pretty hard, regular use over the last 17 years for one metric set.

I suppose I could complain about the holder - they are a bit loose in it now

 

[Brad93]

Bondhus used to be USA made.

One of these got delivered today.
Complete with snow plough.

Havn't actually got any wera allen keys but have had a set of bondhus and ekland keys for years both usa made and quality keys.

Seems they are still made in the USA

Don't think I would be buying from there.

Here is where I was looking.

 

[Hood]

Mind you for an extra £23.50 on eBay you do get an extra (7mm?) one

 

[roblane65]

I just put it on for example , you can usually find cheaper , a while ago got a brand new set of ekland from a car boot for about £4

 

[KimB]

These neat Knipex grip things. And a socket for the my lorry.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

This press oiler also arrived today for the Myford ML7

Looks identical to the one I have.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

And a socket for the my lorry.

In case it felt left out?
