These are just as described. The finish is even better than the photos show. I find myself using these even when a Y wrench would be a better option as these are so nice to use. Based on how nice this set is I am definitely going to get the Var Y wrench as well, just have to decide to get straight or ball-end.

Nicely compiled hex wrench set—beats working with the multi-tool, and portable too. Good quality & timely delivery. First time buyer with Velo Orange, and now I feel confident in their products.

Hi -- I purchased the VAR hex wrench set because I wanted a set that had a ball end for those tight places. I also like the fact that this set is chrome plated and the size is engraved on each wrench. Never heard of VAR before, but the quality is outstanding, plus it's nice to own a bike tool that doesn't begin with "Park".

These wrenches easily maintain VAR's reputation for excellence. The wrenches are long enough for good leverage, carefully spec'd to snuggly fit the appropriate bolt dimension and smooth and pleasant to the hand. The sizing labels are convenient and the swing out folding wrench holder wing is really useful in keeping the collection compact and storable. They are all you could need in the way of hex wrenches in their size range.
