Review on πŸ”§ Klein Tools JTH6M3 Journeyman T-Handle by Will Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

More than a simple 8mm allen key.

Strange review in that this Allen key has only been used to adjust the belt tension on my treadmill so far. Yes, it can be used as a normal tool, but I have a special need. A regular hex wrench (those L-shaped tools we all use) has a "long" end that's too long to tighten. This is because the long end falls to the floor when tightened. I need leverage with my long arm outstretched, but I can't do continuous spins. Since I count full turns during the clamping process, this is cumbersome. If I insert a longer lever into the pull bolt, I don't have enough leverage to create the perfect tension. So this is my perfect tool to adjust my treadmill. And of course it's an affordable 8mm allen key when I need it. But I already have dozens of keys, but the form factor helps. And its construction is excellent and I expect this tool will outlive the treadmill.
