Last night I rounded yet another allen key. So I pulled out my trusty set of Pedro Hex L Wrench Set and kept going with no problems. I have stripped down my bikes and rebuilt them, my rc cars and have been using this same set of allen keys for years and they still look brand new. I would love a set of hudy Hex drivers but I can't really afford them. Anyway I was so impressed last night that I have had this same set of keys for years and they still show almost no signs of use that I thought I should tell you guys about them. By no signs of use I mean on the tips you can usually see the corners starting to get rounded, not on these though. I love this set of keys so much I usually carry them while riding even though they weigh about half a kilo.
The only damage to them was from my friend putting a set of pliers on to them and trying to undo a head bolt on a nitro engine held in by a lot of red loctite. It took a huge amount of force to do (foot long pliers) but he snapped the ball off the key. Fixed the key up with the dremel and then did the same thing again with the same key and undid the screw.
They aren't the easiest to use being L wrenches instead of the handle ones (the kind I ruined last night) but they are cheap and incredibly tuff. I bought mine for under $50 Australian so in the US they are probably a lot cheaper. I definitely recommend these if you are in need of a reasonably priced set of allen keys.

You can find them in bicycle stores. So if your in need of Hex wrenches take a look in your local bike store and see if you can find these.
As a rating out of 10 I say 9/10. I give them 9 instead of 10 because they don't come in screw driver style. It would be nice if pedro's made them in screw driver style with and without ball ends out of the same stuff cause they would be the ultimate hex wrenches if they did.
