    Can anyone recommend a decent set? I've seen some on eBay by Bondhus but I'm not familiar with the name. They look decent quality but looks can be deceptive.

    Have you ever tried them ball-end ones? I never even knew they existed until I started looking. Me and allen keys don't get on at all. I always seem to chew the buggers up.

    I service and repair cycles as a part time job, and use Park Allen keys which are American, they are very good but expensive. Some cheaper ones are just as good, it's all down to the hardness of the metal. The ball end is for getting at Allen bolts on an angle.

    We use Beta tools and they are top notch.

    Not overally expensive when you compare to the likes of Mac / Snap On but I'd say just as good if not better.

    Thanks
