Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fuller Tool 130-8030 30-Piece Combo SAE/Metric Hex Key Set
Customer Review: Needs a Redesign
Summary: 2 Stars
On the plus side, this is a hex set that contains more sizes than you'll ever need or use. It should take care of any and all mechanical projects you need to work on. Be aware, though, that these hex wrenches do not have the "ball" end.
The worst feature is the plastic box it comes in. Fuller needs to totally rework the design. The tiniest of the wrenches all too quickly and easily fall out with the slightest bump. Once that happens, good luck at trying to figure out what each size is, IF you're able to find them. This hex set with its poorly-designed case will not hold up to the rough treatment that it would receive in any repair shop, and remain intact.
Customer Review: Like everyone else said...
Summary: 3 Stars
Good set, really really lousy case. Case was broken on arrival. It's a piece of plastic, couldn't they have splurged 2 cents and made it extra-nice?
I bought this set pretty much exclusively for the smallest hex keys, they are somewhat hard to find, but I broke one of them just taking it out of the box - it's not that they are badly made, it's just that they are too thin to be practical, if you need a key this small, I would suggest just drilling out the set screw or using tweezers to screw it in, there is no way a hex key that small can do the job.
Conclusion: I'd buy it again, it's a good set for the price.
Customer Review: Many Sizes - Poor Storage
Summary: 2 Stars
I agree with the previous reviewer. The multitude of sizes is terrific - the case is an abomination. Most of the little plastic tabs that hold the keys in place were broken off on arrival. Several more have broken since I started using the set. This makes it impossible to use the case to keep the keys organized. If you purchase this set, plan on devising an alternate means to store the keys.Customer Review: Served the Purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this set because I needed a particular hex key. I figured I would buy a set just in case I needed another size in the future. Well, there hasn't been a hex key need this hasn't filled. I don't imagine I'll be buying anything more.. ever. They seem quite sturdy and since I don't use them every day, the packaging hasn't been an issue. For the price, I thought it was a good buy.Customer Review: All the hex key's you'll never need. (and some you wont)
Summary: 4 Stars
To be honest I bought this set because it contained the tiny size 1.3 Metric key, which I was unable to find anywhere in my town. (I needed it to adjust the sights on my handgun) Otherwise this looks like a good set and is sure to come in handy for the future.
I give it 4 stars due to the fact it does not hold the keys very well, but that is the only flaw I can see.
