Review on πŸ”§ High-Quality Hex Head Allen Wrench Drill Bit Set (24 Pack) - Metric & SAE - Magnetic Tips - Durable CR-MO Steel Alloy - 2.3" Long by Srinivas Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I believe it will be decent hex bits but there are things to be aware of.

My search for allen bits started because: β€’ Most of my allen wrenches are cheap and easy to remove β€’ Most of my allen wrenches are nowhere to be found when I need them β€’ I have often wanted to use them in your drill. Why did I buy them? β€’ The price was right β€’ I researched the material listed (chrome molybdenum) and found it to work well for this type of tool β€’ They are magnetic (always a plus for most of my needs) β€’ The right choice of SAE and Metric for my needs My thoughts at the moment: β€’ Sizes printed on actual bits aren't the best. One bit has no dimensions and the other has a curve β€’ Bits are oily but better than rusty. Many new metal tools and implements are lubricated with grease or oil to prevent rusting. Cleaning is easy with a cloth. β€’ The specified bit length of 2.3 inches is correct and meets my requirements. β€’ I don't know what tolerances the small hex bits should be machined to, but I have provided (see image) what I need. actually measured every bit. I used a branded caliper (Mitutoyo) for these measurements. They are advertised as being measured for a perfect fit, but my measurements do not reflect that claim. On the smaller sizes, measurement is really important and the 2mm bit was loose on some screws I tried, but that might be because they were cheap screws (I have 3mm hex screws used with 2 mm). β€’ The smaller hex bit, 1.5mm, doesn't have a sharp hex shape and looks almost cylindrical on one side I don't have 1.5 hex screws to try on β€’ Will take a while to use them See how well they hold up but i hope they hold up well and don't come loose easily. I'd rather unscrew the bar than keep replacing ace tools. I'll try to update this review after using them for a while to get a better idea of how they're holding up. I hope you find this information useful.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
