Eklind Tool61820 5/16 Inch Power-T T-Handle Ball-Hex T-Key allen wrench

Couple of problems:1. Waaaay too long. The photo is deceptive. The description is correct. It really is 9" long. This can be a good thing....because it allows us to spin the screws pretty quickly (if you hold the metal shank between your fingers).2. The ball end means you get small contact point with your bolt/screw. Twist it with too much force and the wrench slips inside the screw head. Do it too often and the the wrench/screw head gets rounded off.We bought 6 of these in two different sizes (7/64 and 3/32) for our robotics team. A few of them are already rounded off. I think we will have to grind off the ball end to make it a regular hex wrench, eventually

Bought this to tighten down my Incra table saw sled. The 3/32” wrench is too thin and long that if you torque it tight at all it twists. Ended up buying a Wiha Soft Finish driver, the metal is much stouter and has no problem. Disappointed at this tool, expected more from a US product.

I purchased 4 selected metric (2.5, 3, 4, 5mm) for bicycle repairs. The long ball reach is perfect. I don’t use long handles or ball ends for high torque. I use a short “L” Allen or socket Allen for high torque. I recommend these Allen wrenches for low torque projects or spinning a bolt and then switching to socket Allen or “L” Allen for final torque.

I bought this to remove the intake manifold on my car, because my existing "long" Allen wrench wasn't long enough. This was the perfect length (I needed over 7", and this is 8"), and handled the torque just fine. The ball-style tip makes it so you don't have to have a perfect angle, too, which is a must-have for Allen wrenches, in my experience.

Needed an extra long Allen wrench to get to some recessed cap bolts hiding behind the crankshaft on my car (oil sprayer nozzles). Didn't want to remove the crank. This wrench did the trick. The ball head allowed me to get to the cap bolts on a slight angle and the quality was good enough to break the bolts loose with no harm to the Allen wrench. Saved me hours of time. I'm so impressed that I ordered the full set for future use. These will be my go to hex keys.

If you have tool adjustments that require allen wrenches, these T-handles wrenches really ease to job. Because they have a ball head, they have a wide range of angles for which they can be used. I'm going to be ordering one to raise and lower my router as well as the one I purchased for bit changing.

This item was bought as replacement for a Snap-on wrench of the same size that I use to assemble and repair inline speed skates. Like the Snap-on, it has reach for getting into any place in the skate, including mounting a frame for 100mm wheels. And like the Snap-on, it fits perfectly so that there is no doubt that one is turning the screws rather than stripping them. Let the buyer beware that not all wrenches that say 5/32 fit well, and that can cause undue damage to the screw. But this wrench fits so well that I recommend this particular brand for any size work one must do. I have every confidence that it will fit the job. And please remember to operate even the best tools in a safe manner.

I needed to pop the steering wheel on my Crown Vic, which requires a 4mm allen key. Unfortunately, the one I had was far too short. This tool feels sturdy and is plenty long enough to do the task at hand. I think the picture misrepresents the product as shorter than it actually is. This sucker is loooooooong.

I have a number hex T handle tools and bought this as a replacement for one I had lost. I find that it is not as good as the ones like Draper or Silverline as the handle Is a bit small in diameter and so does not provide a good grip. Also the hex bar is quite long and flexible so it doesn’t allow a good firm torque. The handle of most of these type of tools also has a hex key but this one doesn’t and I find that is something I miss.

Eklind 3 mm Power-T T-Handle Ball-Hex Key - SteelVery nicely designed and very well made, these are precise and easy to grip. The long reach enables me to dismantle cooling systems in some of the computers I need to service without problems, where a normal length hex driver or Allen key just would not reach.

Soft metal. Useful for about 4 grub screws and then it slips. Bizarre bit of product design!

This is the only 5mm hex wrench long enough to undo the nut on a set of low spec bicycle suspension forks. No issues with it at all.

Comfy rubber grip ideal length for tightening roof bar clamps.
