Park Tool HXS-1.2
3 / 5
Pity, just not
For me too, the 5 on the short side is just too big. I think it is a 5.1mm. But that makes it unusable and that's just the spanner you use the most. The rest of the spanners are of good quality but I think this is a big miss from Park Tool.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Almost perfect
Generally quite satisfied, but the 5 is just too big on the short side. Then I'm talking about 0.1mm I think, but because of that it doesn't fit and so you just can't put force on 5mm bolts. That's obviously the one you use about the most so that's quite annoying. The rest of the sizes are perfect!

Usual quality, all necessary sizes
The quality you are used to from Parktool.
5 / 5
Good quality
Much better than entry-level allen keys. I couldn't unscrew with entry-level ones, but with these I could unscrew easily. They stood up to the grime of the bike. To be seen in the long term.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Park Tools quality
Excellent set of Allen keys from Park Tools. Contrary to the negative comments on the site, the spanners are not difficult to remove from their case. You just rotate them until they click (about 10 degrees) and then they slide out by themselves (well, maybe not the very first time). Another negative point raised in the reviews was the size of the 5mm key, which is said to be 0.1mm too large... My set fits perfectly in all the screws I've tried, I can't see any problem.
