Shop monkeys and do-it-yourselfers (allthough, unless you use your wrenches ALOT you probably wont experience this)...
Pedros has stopped making the "pro" version of their allen wrench t-handle set. the new ones are all black, instead of silver with case-hardened black tips and have soft rubber handles instead of hard rubber and I can't find the old ones anywhere. these new ones and the park tool ones just round off way too easily (slightly-rounded tip part for angle access) on the 5mm and below. does anyone have any good leads to some nicer t-handle allen wrench sets? Our shop has tried the new pedros, park tool, craftsman, etc. nothing is as good as the old pedros. i tried contacting pedros but they never responded.
And if anyone has a lead on the old ones or the pro version, could you let me know? btw, CRC claims they are the "pro" version and the picture even shows them, but they shipped us the new/cheaper quality all black ones.
the same is with most other dealers (qbp and bti). the pics show the pro set but they ship you the new/crappy set.
Good!
Bad (note: i know the image is of the torx set but i couldn't find a pic of the hex set with the same steel and soft handles)!
thanks!
