Doug: Small, handy Allen key set. Covers the basic sizes commonly found in my line of work. Retention is good but does loosen up with use but can be adjusted with the screws on the side. I keep one in all my tool bags.

Mike B: Wow, when you pick this up you can feel the weight of it. Klein tools always top quality not like the China ones. When buying a Klein tool, nice to know you bought the best you could have

rick: You remember when the united states produced the best high quality tools in the world? Like back in the day, go to sears, buy a craftsman wrench. Made in US, lifetime warranty, weighed like 2 lbs of solid steel?

It felt right in your hand and was obviously high quality. Ive noticed this on nicer knives, they feel so right in your hand.

I am tired of spending money and getting low quality plastic or weak metal tools. So when i open this up and see the steel casing and made in usa stamp, ok, im listening...

Then the bolts and nuts holding each Axel, the axels are tight, no play. The steel casing is simple but crafted by an engineer. You have a nice slant on the smaller sizes axel, to follow the progressive sizes. The back shows you the size which is lined up w the corresponding wrench/bit.

Its just a well engineered, simple, high quality tool. Very happy. Ordered the metric one toom seriously thinking of sending dad a set. Good work.

Amazon Customer: Nice sturdy, compact set as described!

Liam Chubb: This set is great. Simple construction with very good sturdiness when twisting hard while tightening panel lugs, unlike some brands I have used in the past. I feel the 9 key size range is acceptable, though the 5 key has a better overlap with common electrical lugs, (may want a socket set instead for the larger sizes rather than a folding set)
I like that it is thinner than some other sets, fits in the hand well.

Phil G: Good price for a good set of Allen keys

Kenneth Young: Great quality. Would order again.

Jamie: It folds and unfolds easily, though it seems that it should be folded in a specific order - smaller ones on the inside/bottom, larger on top. I noticed a slight bit of wear already from the one I've used however, I don't think it will become damaged or un-useful any time soon - just the door I had used it in was pretty messed up.
