Wera Hex-Plus Set vs Traditional Allen Keys And Multi-tools. Why Spend More?

I discuss why Hex-Plus allen keys are much better value even though they cost more
I bought these for repairs and maintenance on my mountain bike and e-scooter:

Money's hard to come by so when should you spend more on tools when there's cheaper available? The Caveman discusses the pro's and cons

I know there's a lot of people who give you some stick on your videos but mate , truly I think your bloody brilliant. Great content to watch first thing in the morning to start my day lol

Hiya buddy. That really made my day. Thanks very much indeed. I always accept criticism as people have a right to express their opinions if you put yourself out there in the public domain. Sometimes it's justified, sometimes not. Very best wishes, Des

Good stuff! I use Wera Hex keys and Torx drivers. Very nice quality and reliable. Used when working on my bike or the trim panels on a car. The old adage - buy cheap, buy twice in my opinion. Quality tools. If looked after will last a lifetime

Agree entirely my friend. Thanks, Des

I have had my set of similar Wera Hex Plus for years now and they are still as good as the day I bought them. They aren't cheap but I got fed up with the old set I had of cheap ones that had some missing and often would come out of the fitting. It was well worth paying the extra though for the Wera, they have the handy case you mentioned so it is obvious if any haven't been put back and it is easy to take them out of the case. The ball on the end is invaluable for getting into tricky spots, I use it often. Mine have a rubber coating on the handles which make them softer on the hand, but you could achieve this with some racket tape or similar. The extra length makes leverage much better as well though they are strong enough to never bend. Something you missed out on the video that you may not be aware of is the case has a magnet built in just below the loc part. There is + symbol on the side and if you swipe the allen key over that a few times you can magnetise the allen key so your fitting sticks to the end of the allen key to help you position the fitting before tightening. It can come in quite handy. ATB!

Hiya buddyl Thanks very much for your valuable feedback. Good to know that you've also had some and rate them highly. Adding tape around the stem is a really good idea and I will adopt. I was actually aware of the magnet and did incorporate a photo identifying it at the end of the vid but probably too easily missed. I agree that I should have put more emphasis on it as it's undoubtedly a handy feature. Have a great weekend. ATB
