Overview

Reaching a hex bolt at an angle is what a ball end key allows, and these Wiha L-keys are cut by CNC from tool steel. Each key carries a color band so the right size is found quickly.

Color coding speeds sorting in a busy bench drawer. Metric sizing suits bikes, furniture and imported machines. The listing does not itemize the key sizes, so check the range against the bolts you own.

Who it's for

Cyclists, assemblers and machine owners with metric hex hardware will reach for the set often. Owners of American equipment should buy an inch set.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Ball end reaches angled bolts
  • Color coding speeds sizing
  • Tool steel construction
  • CNC cut keys
Cons
  • Metric sizes only
  • Key sizes not itemized
  • Ball end holds less torque
  • Short length limits leverage

Performance notes

The ball end can tilt into the socket head, but contact area is smaller, so tight bolts should be broken loose with the straight end. Tool steel resists rounding. The short arm gives limited leverage.
