Nine colour-coded hex keys built around Wera's Hex-Plus profile, which broadens contact surfaces inside the bolt head to reduce rounding and increase torque capacity by up to 20%. The set every cyclist's workshop needs, done properly.
Why you should have Wera tools in your cycling tool set
Wera is a German toolmaker with a clear point of view: standard tools solve standard problems, and most standard tools are not good enough. The 950/9 Hex-Plus Multicolour HF 1 is the brand’s answer to the most common workshop frustration a cyclist faces, a rounded bolt head, an Allen key that slips, a set of tools that takes longer to locate than to use. Nine keys, one set, no compromises. Walk through a professional team’s mechanics area at any major race and Wera tools appear with a regularity that says everything about their reputation in the field.
The Hex-Plus profile is the technical foundation of the set. Where a standard hex key transmits force across narrow contact edges inside the bolt head, the Hex-Plus geometry distributes load across broader surfaces. The result is up to 20% more torque capacity and a measurably lower risk of rounding the head. It works on any standard hex bolt, so there is no compatibility trade-off. The six sizes from 3mm upward also carry a holding function: a steel ball retains the bolt on the key, keeping the fastener in place in awkward positions where a second hand is not available.
What sets it apart
The Multicolour system handles the workflow problem. Each key carries a colour-coded grip sleeve corresponding to its size, matched across the entire Wera ecosystem including sockets and Joker spanners. The right key is visible at a glance, not after checking three similar-looking tools. The grip itself, rounded and rubberised, provides a comfortable hold even in cold conditions, which matters in early-season workshop sessions. The clip holder is made from wear-resistant material: keys slot in securely and pull out cleanly, without the loosening that degrades cheaper sets over time. Laser-etched size markings on each key complete the picture, resistant to abrasion where printed labels fail.
Nine keys in metric sizing from 1.5mm to 10mm. The three smallest (1.5, 2 and 2.5mm) are standard profile. From 3mm upward, every key carries the holding function. The long arm on each key features a ball-end tip for angled access, useful when a bolt sits behind a cable stop or inside a tight frame junction. The BlackLaser finish protects against corrosion and extends surface life across regular use.
