Default Eklind hexagon keys

And you need both anyway, as well as a set with the short arm cut off
just beyond the bend. The Bondhus wrenches have a tighter bend than
the other brands, which means you can cut them shorter. And the uncut
wrenches will reach deeper into a counterbore before the bend
interferes.


I've replaced a lot of bits in hex sockets with cut up chunks of Bondhus hex keys, the
Bondhus replacements last far longer. When they do fail, they tend to fail lengthwise.
They never round off though like the bits I replaced.

The application is assembly cells using electric drive screw guns with torque
control/monitoring.
