NEIKO 10288A Allen Hex Bit Socket Set, 32 Piece SAE and Metric Allen Socket Set, Allen Head Hex Key Socket Set Made with S2 Steel

Delivered on time. Good quality

Very good set. Really like the size as they can get into tight areas and they work well on partiallyRound bolts/screws.

I've obtained a motley variety of hex bit sockets over the years, usually on a per-need basis: a differential plug here, a coolant plug there, a suspension fitting here. I wanted a set for uniformity and completion, but since these are so rarely needed by a DIY mechanic, and since I had the ones I really needed already, I didn't want to spend much. I also detest cheaply made or finished tools, so for years I just made do, not being able to justify buying a "nice" set. But for $15, or even slightly more when not on special, this set is a total no-brainer.Few skips, just metric, nicely chromed sockets, straight inserted bits, and a very nice, compact case to tuck it all away until needed. It's mostly smaller and medium sizes. What's missing? There's no 11 mm or 13 mm (not that I have ever needed one), and it stops at 14 mm. I have needed a 17 mm before, which is outside the range of this kit. But since I already have one, no complaints. Amazing quality for the price. Compared to the Pittsburgh set I looked at in person these are much, much nicer in finish quality, include 13 rather than 9 sockets, and includes a case. For the same price! (The only advantage perhaps is that the HF Pittsburgh set does include a 17 mm).

I bought both SAE and metric Neiko sets from Amazon few months back ( both to get free shipping plus figured need both sooner or later) Anyway I needed the metric set to work on my metric sized chainsaw as the allen key set I had just bent or snapped. Those machine screws were snugged down tight, maybe with some loctite on the threads... Well it worked fine for that. Set had the sizes I needed and they held up. I think these are plenty strong enough for occasional homeowner type use and definitely stronger/handier than set cheap allen keys.However yesterday I needed to take the hub apart on old F250 4wd and it needed 9/64 inch to get out six little socket head machine screws. Neiko set didnt include it and neither did my current set allen key wrenches. I finally dug up a partial set of individual allen keys (some broken/lost over the years) I'd got out of a dollar bin someplace and miracle of miracles it had 9/64 inch key which luckily was strong enough to get the little machine screws out. I am not usually this lucky and so usually requires trip to the store. Course thats whole idea of having a set of wrenches so you dont have to go buy them one by one.I got to looking and none of the competing cheap hex bit sets included 5/64 or the 9/64 size either, you had to go high dollar set to get them included and for just occasional use, not worth the price. My suggestion probably is to get Neiko set or simular cheap set and add any odd size hex bits singly as you need them. Though just couple bought singly can cost as much as whole cheap set. Then obviously oddball singles wont have place in the little Neiko plastic case. Which means more stuff to keep track of. It really is nice to have this kind of thing together in its own case. I may have to make a wooden case that includes spaces for the oddball stuff and extra room in case so if more odd ball size stuff has to be added.

These are just what i needed, to do someone’s brakes and rotors. To get them off, you can’t use the regular hex keys. You’ll need this exact kit, which also has the size i needed, and yes they all have the hole in the middle. The pics for this item make it confusing, as they have one pic w/the hole, then the other pics they have are the regular hex keys w/o the hole. If you need the ones with the hole, these are DEFINITELY the ones you need. Now, i can finish this brake and rotor job, and get people back on the road!😄

No idea why some reviewers here complain that it breaks. I found that not to be the case. Every tool has its limit and that is why within this different size allen keys ranges from 1/4", 3/8" to 1/2" attachment to a socket wrench for the size. In other words, the design does not allow you to use a smaller allen key attached to a long ratchet wrench for the leverage outside the capability of the allen key size. I found these allen keys substantial to the range of leverage needed for its selected size. I recommend these allen key sockets and have no probem with it....especially comparing to the price you do get the quality.

I buy neiko when I'm done gambling. Their hex and T set have made me the hero more than a few time. Great fit, dont skip sizes, forge is solid, the case takes up minimum space and I've never had one knock out of place when I go mobile. I will be buying be their screw extraction kit when I run into the problem. Love neiko
