DIN/ISO Compliant Combination Wrenches - Comparing CR-V, Jonnesway, King Tones, Honiton & Yato

Hello. I intend to buy a set of keys as in the topic 6-32, 25/26 elements. Prices vary as do companies. I found opinions somewhere that cheap cr-v if they comply with DIN / ISO standards do not differ from jonnesway, king tones, honiton, yato etc. Someone wrote that such a noname kit is hammered with pipes, etc. and "debil-proof" keys. Something about the truth? What do these standards specify? Popular Yato keys also describes DIN 3113 ... So these cheap quality are not different from those "desirable" companies? I myself have 3 keys, probably 17 jonnesway, yato and something that has a DIN stud on one side and on the other hand Chrome vadium and quality does not differ from jonnesway but is it a standard? Keys for around 120-150 PLN and keys for 400-550 are made according to the same standards ??? They are also with the description "exceed DIN 3113" but this is probably a marketing gimmick ... If anyone has something specific about keys, standards etc., please share them ... I will be grateful.

They are very different. I will start with the fact that cheap are loose on the screw and can process it all the time. They can also often break when unscrewing.
I think that if you want to have a tool for longer and have it at all, invest in the company.

I will say this - I thought about honiton a rich set of 26 pieces in a box for a trolley / drawer price around PLN 450 yato PLN 350 for 25 pieces (and here it is interesting because: K2, BJC and several other names of the manufacturer Yato and the price around 200) Neo 26pcs around PLN 350 (another interesting things - different keys and packaging (probably 4 types) ... are they fakes?) and something recommended by several people - proline HD (10 years warranty) PLN 24.00 PLN. Any alternative has a friend?

And in Biedronka or Lidl even cheaper and qualitatively the same thing is not a joke.

I just got a Power Bosch key as a gift from one of the stores and they are mega- none gave up! They tired for 11 years and even the old buses survived. But it was and now it is worse because I ask because it is full of threads about keys but what was 5 years back great so now misery eg stanley declined like coval. In general, I see it this way: firstly good old new differently and secondly sometimes it gets bad and cheap sometimes it goes good too. I guess it depends on the production change
))

As for the keys, the BOXO company has their disadvantage, the dimensions are sometimes too thick, but as you called it "deibilproof" I use a manensman privately, for an amateur as he found, Very good keys also have

Boxo, I don't know, but Stalco opinions are rather bad .... And does anyone use corona?

I strongly advise against. The keys are made of dough and the number of screws I have machined them is also not small. Now I use Honiton and they are very good. The price is not terrible and I have no objections to endurance.

And I recommend a COVAL product. They work for a long time and a lot. At one time they were even with a lifetime warranty.

With such keys it is difficult to assess the quality because they are hardly used for hard work. I have had the Top-Craft set for years with the cheapest quinols and none have given up, but with professional Hans.

Dude, don't kid me, I'm after dinner, nothing below is worth the attention.

Anyway, there is a thread about keys somewhere.

I bought a NITEO combination wrench out of curiosity in a ladybug and I will say that I am positively surprised

In general, the food looks like this: I want to buy some tools ... I worked in a workshop where there was everything and nothing ... Now, if possible, I want equipment for my own workshop (small backyard). It is known that the price matters - I'm building a house, next to the workshop, so the expenses are large and you need to put in a "few" zlotys ... But if I have to use the example of keys to buy a set for PLN 150 and not use it because it cuts screws or breaks, it's a waste of money. And on the net prices are from PLN 80 to over 1000. I delete this cheap as a rule - the cheapest corona around 200, such as yato 350, jonnesway 400, honiton 450 as such. And here is the question - can anyone specifically offer something (in this quality) cheaper or have I found all possible? And I asked about DIN and ISO because probably these standards somehow determine the quality regardless of the price and rather no manufacturer will not risk and subscribe to them without foundation ...

I am also facing the choice of flat and honitonie this system deters me.
And probably better to buy something with a normal 12k mesh.
Jonnesway seems to be a good choice

You will appreciate Honidriver if you actually spin different types of screws, sometimes in hard-to-reach places where you don't always get, e.g. with an E-cap. Besides, you can't get enough of these keys .

I have honiton caps and judging by them the keys should be "firecracker". But jonnesway also gets good reviews and prices are very similar. What I care about the most is that they catch the screw well because the edges are not good ... Recently I had to cut the nut with a precision grinder and how many k ... and ch ... it was! That is why I bought a knipex frog - high price but if it catches the metal tears! But back to the keys - I have been reading about tools for a long time and I see a certain regularity, i.e. if the prices are above 300, the quality is similar. I think I'll take Honiton myself for 450 because it is in a drawer box and the sheet will tear in a moment. And this is probably the only advantage. As if every joonesway set is for 400 in Poznań so you can buy a second one and as you know from the shrine the head does not hurt
