The Bondhaus won't have that issue.

I have the Wera, and have to agree about taking the wrenches out of the "case". On the other hand, I may never put a wrench back in after I take it out.

I have to say that those Bonhaus wrenches look good as well. I can't seen buying another set, especially since I'll probably never put them back in their case, either, but the lack of plastic around the shaft may make them easier to slip in and out if you're so inclined. Maybe Smitty can comment on that.

I’ve got Weras and the Bondhus. The Weras are better; although the Bondhus aren’t awful or anything.

On the tackiness of removal, the Weras stay put whereas the Bondhus have a tendency to slip out (particularly the larger ones).

If I was buying just one, I’d get the Weras.

Ok, let's see how long it takes for y'all to guess what this one is, specifically.

Only one hint: Late 80's.

Extra points for specific details.

I've got Pedro's and Park on the van. Park P-handles and Pedro's L-handles.

I like the Pedro's better, but there are more times when I reach for the P-handle for the leverage. So much so that my 5mm P-handle is about worn out on the ball end

I've got Pedro's and Wera at home. Reach for the Pedro's first, but that's because they're loose on the magnet instead of in their holder. The Weras seem to fit the bolt heads better, but they're higher up on the bench...

There were Land Sharks disguised as Serottas that were branded as Huffys, so yes.

Indeed. 7400 series dura-ace pedal wrench! The spanner end is 15mm and the toothed end is for the axle lock-ring. Your prize is in the mail....should be there in about 3 years.

I have the standard, non color coded, Bondhus and they are very easy to get in and out of their case. It's just a basic hard plastic case.

IMO, in practice, there isn't much difference between any of the high end brand hex keys... they're all very nice and work well.

Bondhus - MUSA and super affordable... I have some that are over 30 years old

Wera - the "Hex Plus" tips can save your bacon on a rounded fittings

PB Swiss - unbeatable finish... their screwdriver handle and sliding T-handle models are pretty sweet

Regarding the L-key holder blocks... PB Swiss is my favorite. They're a bit rubbery and holds the tools well without being a chore to remove.

Actually got these awhile ago but since someone brought them up in convo last week with me I figured I'd post them. Enduro Blind Bearing Puller kit. Sadly, I wished I'd known they did a pro version. Cause they are so much cooler than these. These work well. I will modify them a little bit tho, at least on the 10mm one. But a quality tool.

Are these for pulling frame bearings? Whats the difference in the Pro version?
