yorkshire_spam Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Cheap and cheerful hex key set I spotted in the Range the other day, but has some handy imperial sizes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I have a huge amount of allen key sets - no really sure why! But the last one I bought was from amazon because I wanted a really small one for the heater knobs and could only fine the size is a similar style pack to this one 😂 But yours is cheaper (I just looked!) https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0039KE4IC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Last one I was given(!) was at a Road Safety Event and they handed them out to cyclists, so I just lied and swore I'd left my lycra at home to get a set. A very nice little self-contained set of smaller keys. Worth about a tenner from Icetoolz and will apparently 'keep my scoot dialed.' Okay... but great for smaller bolts.

dougbgt6 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 The smallest Allen key on my car holds the nobs on the heater controls. I don’t have one small enough, but It’s the same size as the one used to adjust the string lengths on my guitar 🎸 so I use the one that came with he guitar.

No. Don't even try, it's the stuff of nightmares. Similarly, on a bicycle... They say four wheels moves the body and two wheels moves the soul, but on a bicycle the saddle moves other body parts into non-functioning positions, so I'll stick to the Triumph.

yorkshire_spam Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 For clarity... I didn't buy one, I already have 3 sets... I just thought if anyone wanted a cheap fairly comprehensive set including the imperial size required for the Spitfire heater control knobs it would be a good option! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lifespan of about 30 minutes in my garage. I can't find them, buy a couple online, they arrive, and an hour later they're gone again. I have numerous other sizes and they're always on the rack but then of course they're not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
