Bondhus is the best for Allen wrenches.
Eklind is pretty good for T handles, but they round out much easier. Not too terrible though; just grind them a little further up the shaft.
>>
>>904547
Yeah those are golden.
>>
Bondhus? yes
gold? maybe good if you work on the ocean or something
personally i like the colourguard

exactly what this guy said >>904550

eklind is fine, if you dont use them at work every day.
been using my bondhus set everyday for a year now doing automation and injection shit and have only needed to replace the 1.5mm

>goldguard
>not zinc gold
>gold is the same as galvanizing
>>
>>904550
good to see considering my 2 sets of bondhus cost me $50 in my country
>>
>>904598
Then I very much doubt your dollar is the same as an American dollar when it comes to purchasing power. So you need to preface it with something like Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, etc.
>>
>>904601
yep Australian dollar mate. all tools are 2x the cost for what Americans pay.

what I do is get cheapest stuff I can find. Anyways these are used very often, occasionally I would lose one or another. So I just buy cheap stuff (usually zinc plated), they work as they should and I have a mountain of L wrenches.

My set are at a job site but they look like this.
Yeah they don't seem all that well known for some reason.
>>
Not a damn thing wrong with paramounts. We have them at the shop. They tend to get lost before getting bent.
>>
>>905346
>>905359
Judging from the photos online I'm bet that the OEM of Paramount is Bondhus. Paramount looks like a private label house brand.
>>
>>905613
yeah it looks like. they look to have the same features as bondhus, chamfered tips, ect

Australians are the worst, bitching about their prices of shit.
Dont let them tell you that their national minimum wage is over 17$ an hour.

A new video game like Fallout 4 is 60$ in the USA, its 99$ in Australia.

At minimum wage, it takes an American 8 and a half work hours to buy it.
Australians only need to work 5 and a half hours.

Sounds so fucking awful to me
