For installing towel bars, tightening door handles, or assembling IKEA furniture, a home toolbox should have a good selection of hex wrenches (commonly known by the trademarked name Allen wrenches). We had three carpenters test 11 top models, and our favorite set is the TEKTON 25282 26-piece Long Arm Ball Hex Key Wrench Set.

These are more expensive than our main pick and the case doesn’t fold open, so it can get a little awkward. Still, they are better than the other sets we tested.
