Colleagues, what companies do you recommend for car repair keys? Of course, we omit top brands and typical for workshops, factories (Snapon, Hazet, Facom, Stahweelie) where it is necessary to ensure maximum quality with very frequent use. Personally, I have been using with satisfaction for many...

Yato sets will fulfill their role as much as possible, I would look for Toptul or Hans, they are also good sets, the price is also ok.

andrzej20001 · Answer

I prefer NEO

SKM 1964 · Answer

I also have YATO sets, but in single boxes, each of one type. I bought them a long time ago and they still serve me today. They don't advertise the company here, they just fulfill their role. In fact, I use them for my own needs, so rather amateurish. I do not know how with the durability of these keys would be in the workshop ??
They are in use there all the time.

Romek T. · Answer

The MaXgear suitcase works well, I use it moderately and it lasts

tadkli9743 · Answer

Hello I have been using such keys for several years. For domestic purposes, perfectly adequate. Regards

badyl666 · Answer

Hello. I bought a Honiton 94 elements suitcase a few years ago. It is enough for an amateur. Regards

cynamonik · Answer

Nice, thanks. It seems like something worth buying at the level of Yato or the other companies you mentioned.

For me, the most important thing is the quality of workmanship, e.g. narrow tolerance so that they fit the sockets and heads as well as possible.

I suspect that a lot of opinions come from the fact that you do not use knobs, but rattles at once .. I see such situations in almost all workshops. I will let you know what I finally bought.

SKM 1964 · Answer

And this is a very bad habit, as the key knob withstands much greater forces than the ratchet. The Noise Maker can be broken when unscrewing and tightening with greater force. But I also noticed it during the workshops, that no one is playing with the shifting of the keys, but is working on the rattle right away. Apparently it's so more comfortable.

gieniek · Answer

I have Coval sets, and some Neo. Coval has been through a lot and is still doing it.

freebsd · Answer

I have also been using the Yato set for several years. I also have power tools from this company. And I don't use ratchets for "hard" unscrewing :-)

Only the bits (T40 type) have weak bits, but I'm not sure about that, because I lost them while unscrewing very seized screws.

SKM 1964 · Answer

And I'm curious what happened to them exactly ?? Cracked, twisted or something else ??

szymitsu21 · Answer

Yato is suitable for bicycles. It's hard to unscrew anything with them.

A seized wheel bolt is a serious challenge, NEO, King tons (price and somehow great in my opinion) asta (I also use everything for 1100nm pneumatics for years and nothing breaks.
SATA is terrible crap.

This is probably all of the tools that really work and are at a good price.

Besides, Manessman and Magnuson are also really good, I have such sets and I use them outside the workshop.

Aleksander_01 · Answer

So we take, for example, a 13th Yato ring spanner and for no treasures we can not unscrew the seized screw. Now we take the company's 13-eye wrench (better according to the author of the post) and unscrew the seized screw a little. A revelation, a revelation, i.e. the problem is not a seized screw, but poorly selected tools. One more time.

andrzej20001 · Answer

The profile inside the eyelet sucks. If you do it, cry. A good key, as you assume, enters quite tightly and is smooth inside, tightly on the bolt, nut. Side cutters cheap after the time, two when you cut, for example, a thicker wire or a M4 screw for scrap metal. Such neo tortures a couple of 5 years and they do not bend. With the wrong key you can do a lot of additional work, not to mention fingers.

freebsd · Answer

I will answer the question under my post One broke when unscrewing the brake caliper. Two other sizes just twisted together like a screw. In each of these cases, I had to unscrew the tightly seized screws.

Aleksander_01 · Answer

It gets better and better, i.e. Yato cannot make a key where there is, for example, 10 mm between the walls. Smooth inside and non-smooth? I have been using the Yato socket from 5.5 to 13 mm for over 10 years and professionally, fact 10 very rarely, but it can pass (the screw head is rusty). I note that this is a key that works almost non-stop. Each company will make a very good key, the only question is how much material will be used for this. The problem is that with the thinnest wall possible, transfer the greatest possible oblique forces.

SKM 1964 · Answer

Thanks for the info !! Now I will be careful not to let them ...... live. The moderator wrote that YATO is only for a bicycle ?? In my opinion they can do a little more ??

marek49ae · Answer

I also recommend Coval, I have practically all flat wrenches, ring wrenches and sockets from this company, which used to be with a lifetime guarantee. They've been through a lot and they're all alive. Only for the torx tips I have reservations because they break, I bought Yato they also break, now I bought a KingTony, we will see how long they will live.

szymitsu21 · Answer

I believe that these are really average quality keys. And if someone says that there are others, I dare to say that he did not work with high-class keys. Contrary to appearances of good quality, the cap does matter. I can send you sample photos of sockets, for example YATO, what they look like after unscrewing the axle shaft with pneumatic a few times. Or long sockets 17,19,21 after seized wheels ... I don't write because I only like to see what is happening with these tools. I would like to add that this is my subjective opinion and no one has to stick to it ... So skip any unnecessary comments.

E8600 · Answer

The friend is right in part. For me, the brand went too much towards marketing and attractive design, unfortunately the product suffered from it (perhaps a Ukrainian found fakes in the video). I admit YATO was my favorite but now I would choose NEO.

ewoo · Answer

I have the Honiton set myself, I bought them for my brother and friend. We are very pleased. Most often used with agricultural machinery and tractors. easy they don't have but no problems. They are not cheap because the set cost me about PLN 230 from 6 years ago, but it's worth the price.

freebsd · Answer

I wonder if such divergent opinions are not due to the fact that under the Yato brand you can find different designs and quality. So everyone writes the truth, according to what he managed to buy. For example, if I get the complete set of Yato rattles, I will probably buy SATA rattles, because at some point in the demolition of cars, only the SATA rattles of five peasants have not been able to destroy for almost a year, which is a record compared to other mid-priced rattles. And this also does not mean that I will get a rattle of the same quality :-(

I'm just spinning the front of the suspension, including the sled, from the Espace. And I use my Yato set for this, although I have sets of Stanley flat, ring and bent wrenches on my shelf. I also have bulk Profiline, Proxxon, Corona exclusive wrenches: -> Often, I also use regular Yato sockets for stroke (

siewcu · Answer

Neo, Proxxon - I would have taken these if I hadn't got Yato as a gift.

darek.jacek · Answer

Gedore. However, the price of some will not allow them to buy. They are indestructible.

ewoo · Answer

In the first post, the author omits any of this type.

tzok · Answer

I have a YATO suitcase - YT-1268 and it is generally ok, although these plastic-rubber ratchet handles are comfortable but difficult to clean (this rubber part is not very resistant to oil and gasoline). The set included one socket (5.5), which could not be put on the ratchet, because the socket is as if not fully machined. Besides, for amateurs, it is ok. I also have combination wrenches with a ratchet from Yato - YT-0208 and an additional set of extended 12-point TORX bits (spline) - YT-0400. Of course, I only use it for unscrewing / tightening by hand (I don't have a pneumat, but you need more solid caps for them).

jkrotki · Answer

Writing that mid-range caps fall apart from a decent pneumat is a bit like buying a crossover and expecting it to go wherever the old Land Rover goes - it might work, but it should come as no surprise that it will fall apart after such treatment tools There are YATO wrenches for other applications, for other Top Tools from the market, and decent impact sockets for still others. In my opinion, both YATO and Magnussons are enough for amateur use, and they surprised me positively with their durability several times.

freebsd · Answer

My situation from today, as to be exactly confirmed by the above-mentioned quotes. It's not about Yato, because here the flat and ring wrenches end in size 22. Today I unscrewed the rocker pin. I wanted to use a Corona exclusive broken ring spanner, which already served two similar bolts. The third time, however, the screw was too rusty and the wrench slipped. But he grabbed Stanley's key without any problem.

siewcu · Answer

Stanley ... You have to watch out for that. Once good tools, now mediocre at best. They broke down qualitatively terribly.
