In need of some new Allen keys and Torx keys and would quite like to have them on a small rack/shelf type thing to keep them tidy.
Any recommendations up to about £50?
Each set or combined?
Park Tools spinners are on racks and very nice.
About £50 combined
The fixed handle on those will make access difficult for things like disk calipers. I got a set of the Park rip-off Lifeline T bar ones, and even with the ability of the bar to slide through, it's surprising how often I need to resort to the L shaped, ball end set.
Ive seen a few L shaped sets by a brand called 'Wera' that might be better then.
wera = not cheap

I have these and their screwdriver set fitted to the wall in front of my workbench.
Wera are good. I think my Halfords Professional ones are rebranded Weras. They aren't the same any longer sadly. Actually thinking about it, Halfords Professional still have a lifetime guarantee, so if they have anything to suit that'd be worth a look.
Edit - no nothing suitable at Halfords.
I've got a few sets of allen and torx. Some of them came with a wall mount. I never use the wall rack thingy. Just use a magnetic tool holder.
Then you can buy whatever you want and still stick them up on the wall.
I'd say Wera for both is a good shout. I've got some Bondhaus allen keys which are nice and a few sets of Wiha which I love. One of the Wiha sets (Allen keys) is a low profile one. They've got short 'L' ends and are unbelievably useful. I'm not sure how I managed to function without them.
I'd second the notion that the ones you get with the big blue moulded handles aren't all that useful. They're nice to have as an extra but they make access difficult most of the time.
I don't even get what those handles are supposed to achieve. Do get a comfy grip then do a flip rather then twisting the handle?
My tools aren’t wall mounted, but I’ve got Bondhus hex and torx sets, and slowly acquiring a set of Wera ‘screwdrivers’. Good tools for the win!
I have the lifeline sliding t handle and I like them. I now prefer to my wear ball ends.
My wall rack is a bit of wood drilled for screwdrivers and secured to the wall. I have extra screws to hang stuff off.
