Experience:

These Eklind Hex Sets are from My Red Toolbox and see use on my carpentry jobs. Occasionally used for tool repairs, adjusting door handles, mounting towel bars and the odd hex head bolt, these fold-ups are my back-up hex keys, in case I lose single keys dedicated to the task. Hardware usually comes with a hex key.. but what if it doesn’t… or what if the day before you threw them all out but the one you were using and you left that one …somewhere? I carry both a standard and metric set in My Red Toolbox.
