hi all does anyone no of a good 1.5 hex head t bar handle spanner they all keep rounding off at moment i have facom but they dont do a 1.5 can any one recomend one ?
Why not simply re-face the end on a grindstone - good as new!
Been doing this for years, (doesn';t work for ball ended though of course!)
Just don';t overheat the end whilst doing it. Can get years of good service then. ~~
Facom do 2 lengths of 1.5mm hex keys, but not T-bar style, but for 1.5mm a T-bar will allow too much torque to be generated so I find a ';screwdriver'; type is best.
However, I prefer Wiha hex keys as they have a shaped ball end to fit into the hex socket better, (they get into the corners better)
All 1.5mm keys available from RS here (http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/tools/spanners-sockets/hex-keys-sets/?searchTerm=1.5&redirect-relevancy-data=636F3D3126696E3D4931384E4C446573635461786F6E6F6D794272616E645365617263685465726D325F74656D70266C753D656E266D6D3D6D617463687061727469616C6D617826706D3D5E5B5C707B4C7D5C707B4E647D3F5C707B5A737D2D2C2F255C2E5D2B2426706F3D31313326736E3D592673723D52656469726563742673743D4B4559574F52445F4D554C54495F414C5048415F414E445F4D554C54495F414C5048415F4E554D455249432673633D592677633D4E4F4E45267573743D312E356D6D20686578267374613D312E356D6D2068657826&r=f&sra=oss#esid=4294957377)

OK so not what you might call great quality but Aldi are doing a multi bit screwdriver set on Sunday for about £10 that does contain the hex size you are looking for and normally their kit is reasonable quality and usually has a 2 or 3 yr guarantee.

Yes, quite, far too easy to exceed the max!!
