Nothing is worse than not having the right tool for the job. Bondhus Tools headquartered in Minnesota has recently introduced a great new set of tools for wrenching on your bike. The Hex Pro tools are pivoting Torx or Hex wrenches that let you get in to tight spots.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-tXYka1AJ7xI\/VTR3egtG_fI\/AAAAAAAAVtM\/LqSblkZBTDk\/s1600\/P4190002.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-tXYka1AJ7xI\/VTR3egtG_fI\/AAAAAAAAVtM\/LqSblkZBTDk\/s1600\/P4190002.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Hex Pro tools are made from hardened tool steel with forged pivots connected by threaded Torx screws.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-ZXy5yGPHFAQ\/VTR4bJwEKxI\/AAAAAAAAVtY\/UYF26dJ1FqE\/s1600\/P4190031.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-ZXy5yGPHFAQ\/VTR4bJwEKxI\/AAAAAAAAVtY\/UYF26dJ1FqE\/s1600\/P4190031.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The Hex Pro tools are double headed so they can fit in places T-Handles or L-bends will not.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Fy2ZuonpE5c\/VTR4pW5RvII\/AAAAAAAAVtg\/dtYquroUD6Q\/s1600\/P4190012.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Fy2ZuonpE5c\/VTR4pW5RvII\/AAAAAAAAVtg\/dtYquroUD6Q\/s1600\/P4190012.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hex Pro tools are the same size as their traditional L-bend counterparts but offer more versatility.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-1I_dg2J3Xlg\/VTR4-2BXvEI\/AAAAAAAAVto\/KvRxOEr_Aws\/s1600\/P4190019.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-1I_dg2J3Xlg\/VTR4-2BXvEI\/AAAAAAAAVto\/KvRxOEr_Aws\/s1600\/P4190019.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>A reason I like the Hex Pro Pivot Head wrenches more than ball head hex wrenches is that you can apply more force without stripping out the head of the bolt.
