Bondhus invented the Balldriver — the ball-end hex key that lets you engage a fastener at an angle up to 25 degrees off-axis — back in 1964 in Monticello, Minnesota, and the company has been producing hex tools in that same Midwestern facility ever since. Every wrench is cold-formed from proprietary Protanium high-torque steel, then heat-treated for a 20-percent torque advantage over standard alloy steel.
The 69600 is a 13-piece Balldriver double pack bundled in a ColorGuard pouch — each size sits in its own color-coded slot so you can reach for 5/32 or 3mm without reading the imprint on the shaft. The ball ends engage fasteners at up to a 25-degree angle, and the Protanium steel gives a 20-percent torque advantage over standard alloy.
Bondhus has been family-owned and American-made in Monticello, Minnesota since 1964, where they still machine and heat-treat every Balldriver and hex key on site. The company backs the full line with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects.
