Whilst buying some tools, came across these spring loaded WERA multisize hex bits:

Anyone used them?
Not used them but that looks like a solution in search of a problem. If you're carrying a ratchet, the relevant bits are hardly likely to cause issue.
They look brilliant!
I've got a Topeak Ratchet Rocket that I really like.
I got the one with the torque bit on it as well, but I wouldn't bother with it again.

Yer true, I use a little Topeak ratchet kit and yes works well (so much better than a penknife style multitool - why do peiple use them!) - though have losts bits, but easy to replace
just saw these are a cheaper/better? option to be less likely to lose as as alt to something like:

if a allen head is even slightly rounded\manufacturerd with poor tolerences you want to put pressure into the face of it whilst turning to help get it undone. This would not be possible if the tool you're using retracts as pressure is applied
Looks like a cool toy but I think it's a little overcomplicated when the alternative is so simple and reliable.
Got a new tool-roll style saddle bag recently and pen knife style multitool I had didn't fit in very well so was looking at Daysavers and other such expensive solutions to minimising size and weight of multitools. Ended up just taking the 4 hex sizes I required from a basic set of individual L shaped hex keys and getting a chain breaker that fits in the bar end from AliExpress for about a fiver.
they are part of this very little WERA bicycle set:
But not from their more comprehensive sets:
