Hudy is where it's at in the wrench department. They are a little pricey compared to other brands but worth every single penny. You will never bust a Hudy tip.

Go to Sears and buy a set of Craftsman standard and metric allens. Cheaper than those sets.

Go to Sears and buy a set of Craftsman standard and metric allens. Cheaper than those sets. kraftsman tools are just not as good as a good hex driver. Just like if you use real tools on the job you buy snap-on or mac you buy the tool that does the job the best. Kraftsman are ok for an ocasional home user, but just don't handle use a mechanic needs. I own some kraftsman, but my snap-on and mac are light years better quality. |

I wouldn't recommend Craftsman either,,Ive been using the Integy's too for some time now(the gold tipped one's) and have only had to replace one tip so far and it was kind of my fault,,
I here Hudy's are by far the best from what I've seen on the forum's,but they ain't cheap!!
If I ever buy another set,I think i will try the Ofna's,they look pretty good and have a lifetime warranty,so they might be worth a try,there a little more pricey then Integy,but a heck of alot cheaper then Hudy

Well, I'm just not gonna spend 40+ bucks because someone decided to stick aluminum handles on a 30cent hex wrench.
And my Craftsman tools have worked great for the 25 years of engine building, shop repair and car building I have done.

I agree, with buying cheaper ones , it sounds like the expensive ones break just as easy. I have had craftsman tools for many years and they do just fine for me.

Craftsman is a way to go. As a mechanic i have used and abused Craftsman and all i do is take them back get a new one and keep going. They are good quality and doint strip like some cheaper brands.
