Today I acquired...........

[roblane65]

I deliberately went for the normal ends, ball end can be good in some circumstances but they can be a pain when trying to start a screw where access is limited and you are having to try and use the key to get it in place.
The other set I was thinking about getting was these Bondhus ones.

Decided the Wera Hex-Plus may be better on the shallow sockets that the button heads on the Africa Twin has. They are shallower than normal as Honda has kept the one size head and hex which is what a normal M8 button head would have but they are M6 and even some M5.

Havn't actually got any wera allen keys but have had a set of bondhus and ekland keys for years both usa made and quality keys.

I think Bondhus are a top tier make, certainly any I have used have been good. USA made or at least they used to be.

Seems they are still made in the USA

Don't think I would be buying from there.

Here is where I was looking.

Mind you for an extra £23.50 on eBay you do get an extra (7mm?) one

I just put it on for example , you can usually find cheaper , a while ago got a brand new set of ekland from a car boot for about £4

A socket for a whole lordy.
Some one got a good deal.

It seems that these online retailers have too much money - or, to put it another way, we pay them far too high prices if they can afford this ...

On average, good service was shared with one or two people, bad service shared with ten. And that was pre-internet. I expect the ratio is still the same. So it is worth it to keep you happy.

Maybe haha

Pcl?

Yeah, they make some sockets

A socket for a whole lordy.

Cab tilt mechanism is 22mm so I have a socket to save me always needing to get my box out.

Can't see any differences between a 1T Hiab and a Palfinger to be honest.
