I knew I had this somewhere in the shop. I was rumaging around it today and found it. It has all the metric allen wrenches (or most of them) that you would need for your festool tools. Mines is made by Snap On, Its old but Im sure if they dont make it anymore you can find another manufacturer. who does. Anyway I just thought Id share this with everyone. Its only about 3"-4" long when folded up and about a inch wide.

I have 3 of those from Sears - one metric hex, one Imperial hex, and one Torx. They have held up well over the years, and I would buy some more if they were still available. The newer ones are wider, and the body is made of plastic, and just do not feel good in my hand. I reach for those first before rooting through the drawer for the individual allen wrenches.

This is no Toolie, or Snap-On, or even a Craftsman, but the price is right (on clearance right now) and handy for having as spare and you wouldn't feel too bad if you misplace one or it gets "borrowed": http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2083525/34539/Stanley-Mini-Socket-Tool.aspx |

If you are looking for a multi-tool in an Allen key type layout look at a multi-tool made for cyclists. http://www.rei.com/category/4500139There are some small and some large ones with different tools and qualities. I personally like the quality of single use tools, but for a small kit or in a pinch these work reasonably well. Best, Daniel |

Ed, these look awesome. How chincy are they? At $12 a pop I figure this is fall apart in your hand / last no longer than 12 months type of stuff. |

Anyone have one of those Ratcheting tools? I wonder what the longevity is. With a price like that it makes you wonder.

Get yourself a Bondhus bike tool or Gorilla Grip fold-up set, made in the US, unconditional guarantee. List over there is probably about $6 or $7.

I haven't used them hard enough to break one … yet.  The metal for the keys themselves and the case seems to be quite good. The only part that worries me is that the ratchet seems like it's a bit flimsy. It doesn't always catch when I'm moving quickly. Still, the ratcheting action makes them quite handy. |

Like I said I would not trust it for any heavy duty work, but in a pinch it is worth it. Best, Daniel |
