      I pieced my set together but had to have that park took wall mount. I think the park took ones are kinda overrated compared to my generic store brand ones I got

      I have a set of Bondhus T handle I really like and a set of Bondhus long L shape wrenches. The T handle has a good weight and balance to sort of spin in the bolts. Better for that than the Park wrenches pictured though they are good on the short higher torque end.

      If you’re on a budget and want a good set of hex wrenches on a budget, dont get p-handle. Get a set of Wera wrenches. Stainless if you can find them on sale.

      Idk where you’re from but i bought Wera here in EU, half the price, good enough for me.

      Wiha makes a nice 8 piece set. Better quality than Park Tools and a lot cheaper if Park is $113

      You can get really good stuff for less than that set but don’t expect to pay $20 for a good set. Bondhus seems to be something that people gravitate toward but I went PB Swiss for my hex keys and am very happy with them

      I’ve not actually used it but I bet the icon metric set from harbor freight is just as good.

      I do have a set of the standard wrenches from park tool and they are fantastic fit. I bought these because they are a way more compact:

      Those get a lot of use and I have no complaints other than occasionally they are a hair on the long side but that’s a fine tradeoff because being longer makes them nicer to use in general. If you are regularly having issues with them being too long you can always gets a stubby screwdriver with changeable bits. 

      If you want a nice set with handles, I’d honestly get the set above, and then save up and get these instead of the p handles. I have used one once before at a shop that had one and holy cow they are NICE:

      I got a set of Craftsman ones on sale last year that work great. Only downside, they came in a set with SAE wrenches as well, those sit unused on my work bench.

      I honestly prefer regular L shape hex wrenches for working on bikes in most cases. My favorite I have ever used are the PB Swiss ( [https://www.amazon.com/PB-SWISS-TOOLS-L-wrenches-High-Quality/dp/B005SJZOZY](https://www.amazon.com/PB-SWISS-TOOLS-L-wrenches-High-Quality/dp/B005SJZOZY) ) but honestly the Wiha set ( [https://www.amazon.com/Wiha-66980-Metric-Textured-Holder/dp/B085FVGH36](https://www.amazon.com/Wiha-66980-Metric-Textured-Holder/dp/B085FVGH36) ) is very good for 30 bucks. The coating on the PB Swiss is just much more durable

      If in the UK Halfords pro line is around 25 quid and has a lifetime warranty. If you want to service a Shimano clutch you’ll need to get the 2mm separately as it stops at 2.5mm.
