  1. Hi!

    I have a set of 2-8mm wrenches and damaged a 2mm wrench. Could anybody tell me if these Hex wrenches
    can be bought individually?

    Yes they can be bought individually. Usually, you can grind the hex key down and have 6, new,
    sharp sides.

    Yep. Go to a decent hardware store and they should have a plastic box with individual hex keys,
    including metric ones. Any ACE hardware store I have tried has had them. Cheap- I just bought a 2mm
    and I think that it was forty cents. Not the highest quality, but for occasional adjustments of
    brake centering, they work just fine.

    I see that you are posting from the Netherlands, but you must have tool suppliers there who often
    sell single wrenches. Around here they can also be found in better hardware stores, and it might be
    productive to ask at an LBS.

    Now if we are talking tools in titanium, you can get individual, beautiful wrenches. But if you are
    looking for a single because you don't want to spend the money on a set, Ti isn't your answer.

    If you're not picky about the brand, there are lots of choices online, but shipping will probably be
    10 times the price of the tool (or more, since one place had a non-branded 2mm hex key for US$0.15).
    Park, as far as I can tell, does not package the individual sizes of L-shaped hex wrench. If you're
    in Europe, why not look around and find a good Hazet, Wiha or Stahlwille wrench instead?

    Yes, I have a killfile. If I don't respond to something,
    it's also possible that I'm busy.

    yes they can but there are scads of better wrenches out there-Like Pedros or at your local hardware
    store(Bonhous).
