To be honest most of the time I reach for the hex bits that are fitted to 1/2" drive sockets - no messing about with T handles... 20Nm? Ha! And then some!

I wouldn't get the ball end t-handles due to breakage. I have long and regular length t- handles, and I have ball end hex key packs.
if you have to put any amount of torque on the balls, they'll break. I've snapped them without using pipes, and that was Bondhus brand...

Baldus (sp?), I believe, is the set I have at my transmitter sites. Love 'em. MANY hours have been saved by having an "angle" on the problem when there's no other way to get it loosened/tightened. Cuss words can be heard around many corners, but they seldom have ever fixed problems...get the "balls" and go forth to repair!

Craftsman ones for $40 MSRP have a ball end on the long side and a regular on the short side.
Hmm.. Craftsman 7 pc. Metric T-Through Handle Ball End Hex Key Set Reviews - Craftsman Community
