Overview
The Wiha 66992 is a 22-piece ball end hex L-key set covering inch and metric sizes, with a spring steel MagicRing on the larger keys that grips the screw head so you can position work with a free hand.
Sizes run from small standard ball-end keys (1.5 to 2.5mm and .050 to 7/64 inch) up through MagicRing sizes (3 to 10mm and 1/8 to 3/8 inch) that hold the screw captured on the tip. The set comes in a swiveling holder that fans out every key so you can grab the right size without hunting through a folding multi-tool. Reviewers who have used Wiha driver bits for years describe this as the natural upgrade from folding Allen key sets.
- 22 pieces covering inch and metric sizes
- MagicRing grips screw head for free-hand work
- Hardened tool steel construction
- Swiveling holder for quick size access
Who it's for
Suited to mechanics, machinists and serious hobbyists who want one complete inch and metric ball-end set with an organized holder. Less useful for someone who only needs one or two hex sizes occasionally, where a cheap folding tool is enough.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who use these for work praise the swivel holder for making the right size easy to find, and several say the MagicRing feature genuinely helps in tight spots where a fastener would otherwise fall off the tip. More than one owner switched from Craftsman or Harbor Freight sets and reports these have outlasted them. The main pushback is price, with one reviewer noting it sits a step below Wiha's top-tier line despite still being very good.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Full inch and metric range in one set
- MagicRing holds the screw for one-hand work
- Swivel holder makes size selection quick
- Holds up to daily professional use for years
- Priced higher than folding hex key sets
- One reviewer rates it below Wiha's top tier
Performance notes
The MagicRing is a hardened spring steel compression ring on the larger keys that grips the inner head of a screw, so the fastener stays on the tip while you position it with one hand. The ProStar/ErgoStar holder lets all 22 keys swivel out together so the needed size is visible and easy to grab. Reviewers who use the set at work daily report the plating and finish resist wear and rust over years of use.
