EKLIND 92600 PSD Ball-Hex (allen) Precision Screwdriver - 6pc set Metric MM sizes 1.3-4

I bought 4 sets of allen drivers and needed primarily the 1.5 to 3mm drivers. The summary: the EKIND 92600 precision set definitely is the best if you need small drivers. The small drivers in the EKLIND 90609 set come in second place, with the advantages of really nice bigger drivers as well. The Bondhus are best for 3mm+ drivers but worst for the smallest drivers. The Wiha drivers are OK but are all a little small for adult hands, and the sizes can't be read. The picture shows only the 1.5, 2, 3mm sizes of each set. The individual comments below are listed in the same order as the picture. EKLIND 90609 Ball-Hex (allen) Screwdriver - 9pc set Metric MM sizes 1.5-10 - Up to 10mm was a big plus for me. The bigger handles are really meaty and nice. The smaller ones are OK, not great but at least as good as all the others I tried. The sizes are printed on the side and a little hard to read. The balls can be cut on these to make "non-ball end" allen drivers. EKLIND 92600 PSD Ball-Hex (allen) Precision Screwdriver - 6pc set Metric MM sizes 1.3-4 - These are my favorite of the bunch by far. Rubber coating on the handles, large. A really nice feel in the hand, swiveling caps. If you need the smallest sizes, this is the best set of the bunch. The sizes are molded into the top of the cap. The sizes are OK but could be bigger. The ball ends can be cut off. Bondhus 10686 1.5-5mm Balldriver Screwdrivers, 6 Piece Set - The 1.5 and 2mm driver handles were too small to hold in anything but 2 or 3 fingers and in my opinion would certainly cause hand cramps if used for more than a few minutes at a time. It's also pretty much impossible to read the sizes printed on the sides of these. The 3mm and bigger sizes felt really beefy and nice in my hand; the 3mm and bigger sizes are the best feeling drivers of all these sets I listed here. The balls can be cut off to make "non-ball" drivers. Wiha 26491 5-Piece Ball Metric End Hex Driver Set - Nice quality but a little expensive and small for what you get. I think trying to assemble an entire R/C car with these would quickly result in hand cramps. The sizes are printed on the side but are wasted ink as they are impossible to read. The ball ends cannot be cut off on these but the end material may be nicer; hard to tell. EDIT: I am concerned about the other reviews that say these break or are rounded off. I haven't used these a lot. Keep in mind my intention is to cut off the balls and use them as straight shaft drivers.

These are really nice screwdrivers. The precision is great, no slop, and they are quite durable. The size is molded into the spinning end cap. The rubberized coating makes the grip secure, it doesn't slip around. Comfortable in the hand, good weight and heft. The spinning end actually spins unlike cheaper tools. Reminds me of old precision tools made years ago. Feels high quality, but for a reasonable price! Made in USA, which is great too.

So I do a lot with 3d printers and was needing a good set of metric Hex set. They are a little long for th3e tight spots of printers, but for the main reason i got them they work great (direct driver and grub screws). They are really good for small size screws which is the big reason i wanted a good set. The only complaint is it comes in a plastic bag like case which is big for what these tools are, but i don't really care about that as they were just put in my 3d printer tool box. Well worth the purchase.

Great tools. Very handy. I use a lot of M2, M2.5, M3 machine screws with brass threaded inserts for 3D printed projects. These make life much easier.

This ball hex driver set is fine for light work, but the quality is noticeably lower than premium brands. The handles feel cheap with rough edges, and the sizing is inconsistent. Smaller tips like the 1.5 mm and 2 mm wear down quickly or strip screws with very little torque, which makes them unreliable for precision work on 3D printers or electronics. The larger drivers hold up a bit better, and for the price you do get a functional set that can cover occasional jobs. That said, the shafts and ball ends are softer than they should be, and I have had tips round off after only a few uses. The included pouch is also flimsy and doesn’t add much value. If you only need these for occasional light tasks, they will do the job, but they are not something I would trust for regular or serious use. For long term reliability it is worth investing in a higher quality set.

Well made hard steel & nice big handles

Excellent concept, love the handle, but I have to replace the 2mm ever few months of normal use. I am very disappointed with the steel they use. It is not tool steel. It is very soft and round offs very easily. I tried to claim warranty on the first couple of them, and they claimed user error. I call BS, I have been using hex drivers for over 30 years and never have had a hex driver that is so easy to destroy. Eklind used to be a good brand, but these have soured my respect for them as a tool manufacturer. A huge waste of time and money.

I’ve been working on a number of projects with some assembly with metric fasteners, and while traditional Allen keys are universal to a degree, never the fastest. I’ve been putting hex driver bits into some of my screwdrivers, and could spin t-handle hex keys, these precision screwdriver style ball-end Allen keys have been a major time saver for me during assembly steps. Lightweight, decent balance, good reach and the ball end fits fairly well to the socket head machine screws I’ve been using, making it a little easier to place the screws. The clear vinyl packaging included with the screwdrivers isn’t much to write about, it works for storing the screwdrivers when not in use, but not the most practical either with some odd folds to keep the tools in place. While I haven’t thrown away the case yet, nor find it work knocking a star off this rating, the screwdrivers have either been loose in my tool at when needed in the field, or looking at adding a screwdriver holder to my workbench or pegboard, and so far the screwdrivers seem to be holding fairly well. If I wear out the tips or handles get loose (which I’ve seen on similar drivers when over torqued) these are affordable enough and work well enough I could see buying these again

I Brooke one with in 1 week not strong but what do you expect at this price point.

Very handy, and great fir reaching those screws deep in the holes.

Great set of ball hex screwdrivers. Works as advertised and good value, especially with nominal delivery charge.

These gripped my m5 well, and the ball end was very effective at getting hard to reach screws from an angle.

Fait le travail, métal solide.
