Quality hex Posted by bobc [Email] (#473) [Profile/Gallery] (more from bobc) on Fri, 28 Jul 2023 05:26:31 In Reply to: Re: stubby ball end hex wrench for the win, Ferenc, Tue, 25 Jul 2023 14:18:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just to follow up.
There is a lot of garbage out there esp on amazon.
The wrench set I linked,is Bondhus, made in USA, nice black oxide finish (not chrome)
I've used this set on the tensioner bolt (tight) the alternator bolts (scary tight) and applied a frightening amount of force to crack open the manual transmission drain and fill bolts. Those transmission bolts make the alternator bolts feel "hand tight" :-)
prior to this set I used a good quality set that I cut down to fit. But I find that the form factor of this set is ideal ... one very short end (stubby), one very long end (for added leverage) and the ball end give good access to all of these really annoying bolts.
Anyway I see you've finished the job, but wanted to mention for the sake of others and for future searches, that the Bondhus set linked is a good quality, made in usa, very strong, and reasonably priced.
