Review for Stanley Tools Metric & Imperial Folding Hexagon Key Set, 17 Piece by Jonathan Gilbert
21st April 2021

As folding Allen key sets go this is a good on. Nice and compact for when your limited on space. Locking mechanism works well and seems sturdy enough. Obviously will never be as good as a full set of keys. But better than most folding sets.

Good way to keep all the hex keys together but personally found there was too much give in the handle where it meets the key. Tend not to use unless I have to - prefer the “T” type keys.

Very good little set, stops me having to go to the van for Allen keys, a little on the big side, if your needing it in a tight spot not the best tool, but built wellcand reliable.

A little bulky in the hand but overall a good quality tool. Like the 2 locking positions to for use. Doesn’t twist or warp if having to put some extra pressure on the screw to get it loose.

Not the easiest thing to use as it is cumbersome. Handy to have if you misplace your regular Alan keys and can get you out of a spot, not something I’d get for day to day use

It’s good but the only issue I did with it is you can’t get a great grip for tightening I do prefer solid metal ones for tougher jobs but it’s good that it’s small and holds all sizes

They were a gift, I put them in the glove box and have used them a couple of times. More of a parachute than an everyday tool, rather cumbersome to use. Look flashy, but they don't do much really.

These are great to though in the bag if you aren't sure when you need to use them. Great range of size with decent length. Biggest issue is that you can't separate them for jobs in tight spaces and the handles generally gets stuck

Got this and the Magnusson version. Prefer the magnusson version as it has a metal body that feels better quality.

Hex keys work well enough of course just the body doesn’t feel as good.

I tried these as a cheap alternative to my stolen ck set. The two are not even comparable. Whilst this set is great for light use , and diy projects I found it awkward to use and not strong enough when trying to undo tighter Bolts. We use a lot of magnetic locks and these are ok on fresh installs but not efficient when trying to undo old rusty bolts

Haven’t had a good experience with these , they tend to twist the end when the fastener is tight , when you fold one out they tend to all fall out after a while and can rust if not properly oiled

Simple yet effective tool.
Carry mine as an insurance in case I come across an awkward sized bolt. Not let me down so far although they’ve seen more use on my bike than site.

Great to use and can be stored away in tool boxes and bags, great to keep in the van. Would even be handy for use at home when needed.

Not a bad set, i found that after a couple of months if you didn't keep tightening the nuts on the sides it would come apart. Price is fair but build is not fantastic.

Good set of Alan keys but they are all close together and can be difficult to use. You can buy a cheaper version but these have a good hardened coat and are hard to round or damage
