Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt Folding Assorted Metric 8 -Pieces Hex key set

Great tool

Just what I needed. Get the job done easy. Affordable too

OK for simple jobs; need individual keys

This set of hex keys are not what I wanted but they were all the Lowes in Kill Devil Hills had without spending a lot on a set of individual hex keys. It did what I needed which was to take a bed frame apart. However if I had my 4mm individual key it would have been twice as fast. These work where you have plenty of room. The handle is good for applying extra torque to the bolt. They seem to be pretty good steel for Chinese. Would I use them on something I was worried about stripping out, ...

I will be getting another

I originally purchased this key set to work on my bikes. I like it well enough to want a second identical set for the same purpose to keep in the car for bike trips.

It works, sort of

Cheap tool that is worth the cheap price, but not a durable tool by any means.

Right size every time

I like it because I can put it in my pocket on the job and always have the correct size needed

Great little tool to have in your tool box

Pros: 1) Having all the Hex Keys attached together in a handle makes it easier to store and find them in a tool box instead of looking for them individually 2) You just "flip out" the size you need to use and flip it back in when done 3) Having them attached together in a handle gives more torque to tighten and loosen Hex screws 4) Easier to find the tool if dropped instead of looking for an individual key. Cons: With all the keys attached together it is more difficult to use on some Hex scre...

love the look and feel

I have used old school hex key sets for a long time, but I was more than impressed with this bad boy. I've gotten a little older and the design, feel and functionality of this tool is spot on. The keys "lock" into place in their own separate little slot, while remaining together in the case. No more fumbling in a plastic bag type container for me. Be glad to donate my old set to someone else. I'm even going to buy a set of these for my beach condo.

Roomsaver Hex Key Set

I used the product to assemble some outdoor furniture. While I only needed one size for this project, it was good to know that I have 8 sizes in one compact, easy to find piece. I felt the construction was a sturdy design, and using the casing to tighten the bolts was easier on the hand and allowed more manual torque to be applied reducing the possibility of loosening.

Sturdy and compact

This item is well built and works well. The dimensions make it easy to use with my big hands.

Nice Key Set

This folding hex key set has 1.5 to 8 mm hex keys & a large comfortable handle with a cushion grip. Fits nice in the tool box & compliments my SAE set. The keys don't lock in place which for mybuse is helpful to get at any angle approach I need.

Hex key tool review

The 8-key folding hex tool looks to be a good addition to my toolbox. Construction is good. Each hex key's size is marked on the tool handle instead of stamped into the tool like my other individualized set. Stamped into the tool is good for the larger sizes, but it becomes impossible to read the smaller ones. At this point, you have to take three or four hex keys out as you try to find the one that fits. Granted, if you do not know the size you need, you will still be trying various sizes, but ...

Very useful

Nice and compact. Easy to fold up and place in shirt pocket or pants pocket. Easy to fold out and use when needed. Did have some issue with the smaller size felt like I was going to brake it. Maybe not the best of material used to make it but does get the job done. I'm not sure if it will last especially the smaller ones but for now its getting the job done.

Handy Tool

Well made product. Convenient and fits in our small travel trailer toolbox perfectly.

Metric Hex Key Set

The hex key set worked fine. The rubber handle is nice. The keys move in 180 degrees, would be nicer if only moved 90 degrees for tight spots. For the price you can't go wrong.

Complements any tool box

I received the Kobalt metric hex key set as a gift for an unbiased review. The hex key set is a handy all-in-one set to complement a tool box. There are eight hex keys ranging in size from 1.5-8 mm. The case, or hand grip, holds all 8 keys that swivel out when needed and prevents individual keys from getting misplaced. The case is made of sturdy plastic and large enough to hold in large hands. I'm not sure the case will hold up to a lot of torque when used on stubborn bolts, but it looks stur...

Handy Hex Key Set

When I received this set in the mail, I was excited because my old set was about forty years old and pretty tired. This is obviously a quality set, but after trying it on some of my favorite hex nuts and having problems getting it to fit properly, I noticed that it is a metric set. For those needing a metric hex key set, this should be a good one.
