tool recommendation - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

C50 Limited · 11-11-2005, 07:49 AM

It seems that a of the work done on a Boulevard involves the use of allen wrenches, even just removing the covers. The allen wrenches I have are the "L-shaped" jobs but they don't really seem long enough most of the time. I was thinking about getting a longer set with "T" handles. Can anyone recommend a good brand they like and info on where to get them? TIA.

Any decent tool, or automotive shop would have them.

The thing I would look for is the ends to have slight ball shape. That way you can have them on a bit of an angle, and still work.

Go to Sears. Buy Craftsman tools. My set of hex wrenches is 35 years old and still works fine.

I agree! Plus Craftsman tools are guaranteed for life so if one breaks you can just bring it back to Sears and get a new one (except for power tools).

Thanks for the info. I agree that Craftsman is a good product. I will definitely check out Sears to see if they have the T-handle hex wrenches.
