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 38092 is a 7-piece Balldriver hex key set covering the popular SAE sizes in a tight ColorGuard pouch. The ball ends let you engage the fastener at up to a 25-degree angle off-axis — which is what turns a tool that can’t reach into a tool that can. The Protanium steel gives a 20-percent torque advantage over standard alloy, so you get stuck fasteners loose without rounding the hex.
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.
