Where to buy quality 1/4" drive allen keys?

[JasonP]

I have a torque screwdriver for mounting my scopes now, but don't know where to buy a good set of hex allen key bits for it. Any ideas? I tried the usual suspects like Canadian tire etc. and they only have 1 or 2 sizes.

LeBaron has a nice kit but I can't remember the brand name, (Outters?). Though it isn't just the bits, also has the handle, it's only about $15. I keep it in my range bag and have used it at least 100X, has about every bit I've ever needed for working on guns, Torx, Allen flat, Phillips and the extra long Phillips for but pads. Very good value.

The tool kit set and "multi screwdriver" I have from Cdn Tire have both torque and hex bits.

Just about any strictly tool supply house would have them in singles or sets.

Snap-On are the best that I know of and they can be had on-line at snapon.com. Jump to international sales, Canada (bottom, flag) and its 40 bucks a set. You can also buy individual keys. Make sure you have high quality fasteners as well and not some POS grade 2 hex head. Good fasteners can be had a UAP but you have to ask for the good stuff. A gunsmith will know what you are talking about when you say grade 8 hex heads as well as a small engine repair shop (lawn mowers and such). Metric use numbered markings like 8.8 to identify good fasteners but you should look up how they grade fasteners and what markings to look out for so that you don't replace garbage with garbage.
