Marie Kondo is a powerful advocate for throwing out stuff you don’t need in favour of items that ‘spark joy’. Allen key sets have a habit of always missing the size you’re after (for me, it’s the 5mm). So we were drawn to this colourful set of allen keys from Sealey.
The set is manufactured from hardened and heat-treated chrome vanadium steel and boasts a fully polished finish. The keys range in length from 65mm to 175mm and in size from 1.5mm to 10mm. However, it’s the colour-coded rubber coating for fast identification that promises to spark joy the next time you need to do any spannering.
Win a colourful set of allen keys
We have two sets of allen keys to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, simply leave us a comment below and we’ll pick a couple of name next week.

In my case the 3mm is the one that always disappears, the case these are in looks good too.

Is the wrong colour key an improvement on the wrong size?

I run a bike refurbishment charity, where we have some 8 fully-equipped maintenance workstations, plus retail (who need a few tools). I have had to loan some of my tools in the past as some bikes have strange bolt/nut sizes etc. and frequently am heard to say “has anyone seen my ….?”, to which there is usually silence!
It would be great to have a unique set of Allen keys that are instantly recognisable as mine!
Iain Shanks
Love the colours.
Ed Milbourn
Will it mean I the one I need hasn’t gone missing within a week ?

I will hang them in the window like a rainbow

Having got rid of my boring old set of Allen Keys whilst Mari Kondo-ing the small kitchen drawer, surely it’s only karma that I win a set of these beauties LOL! :p
Jane Hanscomb
It would be so good to have these so that I no longer have to scrabble around in the depths of our toolbox searching for the essential missing one when they’re all the same colour.
Peter Chisnall
Excellent
Dave Clarke
Nice! Just need a more colourful bike to go with them…
Alan Key
Surely these have my name written all over them!
