Like the keys with the plastic handle but i just seen the keys below and like the larger plastic handle. http://www.drapertoolbox.co.uk/draper-7 ... 275-68459#

Hang on, what's wrong with the ones you've just sold?

I like hex keys to have a handle, just a personal preference.
DesWeller in your post above you have web links but just used the word These, how do you do that?

You get more for your money with screwfix, nice looking set but my draper ones have never let me down.

These are pretty snazzy.

The only trouble with these is they've a plastic sleeve over them that tends to slip round under load when they get oily. Admittedly I've only encountered this problem when I've been using them at work, and I work in a very oily environment, so it probably isn't a problem for the home bicycle workshop.

Also, the main stem on them is circular rather than hex, so if you need to turn one into a short key or accidentally snap the end off you can't grind it and reuse it.
