These are some of the finest hex wrenches made today. The fact they cost less than $100 is astounding. It is easy to recommend these things to every serious tradesman, craftsman, tinkerer, or tool person out there. Get the matching metric set to go with this and you’ll be set for at least a couple generations.

I’ve been turning wrenches for 40 years. Hex key wrenches become a consumable and I’ve purchased most of the brands that have come an go. These wrenches are awesome. I like the plastic hand guard, fit and function. I rate them the same or slightly better than my various Snap-on sets.

Comfort and ease of use. Excellent grip characteristics. Awesome value for professional or do it yourself bike enthusiasts!

I use these all the time. So much better than what you typically get bundled with products. Very durable.

What can I say? They are Allen wrenches and they function perfectly. I love the ball ends. I also really like the printed sizes on the side. This is quite handy when you already know your screw size. They are quite comfortable to use/hold. Definitely pleased with these.

I love everything about these except the case. It tends to detach when I don’t want it to. Not a big deal.

This brand was recommended to me by a friend, and when it came time to purchase a new set of allen wrenches I went with Wera. I was immediately attracted to the girth and weight of these tools. They feel good in the hand and are a pleasure to use. But. There are a few problems.
First, the plastic holder they come in is a POS. The hinge seems flimsy and likely to break, and the tools are maddeningly difficult to remove. I found myself avoiding this set in favor of my older worn out tools just so I didn’t have to wrestle them free. I finally chucked the d@mn things when I found that Wera offers a ballistic nylon holder for these wrenches. Not available on Amazon as far as I can tell. I found them at Chadstoolbox.com They are still not perfect. Bulky and a bit awkward to store and carry, but far easier to use.
Second, for reasons I struggle to comprehend, the color coding on the the imperial set is the exact same for the metric set. Which, in my mind, partially defeats the purpose of color coding. If I still have to check the label to make sure I have the correct wrench, what’s the point? Worse, as far as I can tell the size of the wrench is ONLY printed on the the colored sleeve. So if, as other reviewers have noted, the sleeve begins to tear and needs to be removed, you’re no better off than when you had that drawer full of random unorganized allen wrenches.
And finally, the colored sleeve has ZERO slip resistance. I work in a machine shop. Everything is covered in cutting oil, or way oil, all the time. These tool require a thorough wipe down before each use or they simply slip right out of your hand. Again, this seems like a major design flaw.
All in all I like these tools. But I think they will end up in my home garage where the demands are lighter rather than in my shop where serious rigorous work is required of every tool.
Hopefully Wera can revisit this tool and update the details so they are more appropriate for professionals rather than just enthusiastic amateurs.
Update 8/1/23: I discovered another major bummer with this wrench set. After several jobs where I struggled to find a wrench that fit my needs, I realized that this imperial wrench set is missing a few sizes that are standard in other sets. This set is missing .050, 1/16, 7/64, 9/64, and 3/16 wrenches. You’ll have to buy those separately. Only the 3/16 is the same style as the kit. Here on Amazon those 5 wrenches will cost almost as much as the kit did. For this reason alone I would have a hard time recommending this tool set. : (

I’m a traveling field service technician, and the second I saw a set of these at one of my customers about 12 years ago, I was on Amazon buying my own set (metric). They’ve served me well, and the extra length compared to other sets helps with the leverage sometimes needed when loosening bolts. I’ve actually sold many people on these tools over the years after they’ve seen me with them, especially my manager (at the time). He bought a set for everyone else in my group after seeing mine.
This imperial set was something I’ve been wanting, but it wasn’t available until recently, to my knowledge. I’m very happy with it, and it’s of the same high quality and durability as the metric set I own.
