Ill secong that i use them at work, 3 years of using a 6mm Bondhus every day and its still perfect. They will also swap for a new one if you manage top mangle one FOC to.

This is how i extract chewed up allen heads,take a metal blade  put it in a hacksaw make sure its in the right way teeth facing the right way and cut a slit in the allen head then get a screwdriver and turn out as you would take out a screw ...job done.

Easier way is to hammer a torx head into the allen head and undo  :daumenhoch:

Cant go wrong with a set of these in your tools box if you round out the head  :daumenhoch:
