Tool guys.....MAC RBRT hex’s

[Stix]

I deal with a ton of shitty Allen head bolts that live in water and filth. Couple that with the fact that they are trash quality fasteners And I’m sick of rounding them out. A buddy turned me on to the RBRT’s. MAC is proud of them. Lol. Anything comparable that works as good?

Wera hex tools have been the shit for me, but I'm using them on my bicycle.

 

[swtfman]

I've successfully hammered a cheap torx bit into a mangled allen head to remove it.

LH drill bits

 

[Gtrplyr78]

Look into Capri tools.
They offer combination wrenches much like RBRTs.
Will look up exact info later, purchasing a new to me KLR650

 

[clodhopper]

What is so special about RBRTs? And what does RBRT stand for anyway?

 

[bgaidan]

Hammer the next size torx bit in the them like a real man.

 

[Landslide]

Weld a hex nut on top of it, use socket wrench to remove it.

Pansy. Can't be stuck if it's liquid.

Wiha makes good tools, some of 'em even in the USA, which is awesome.

Wera hex-plus means the Krauts figured out why Torx work so well in hex sockets

For the same reason I dig flank drive sockets, I love me some odd-shaped hex bits


EDIT: I just looked up RBRT --> Rounded Bolt Removal Technology, so it's the same as a flank drive socket or the funky hex's pictured above.

EDIT 2: snip from Mac's website:

Good design

 

[Takotruckin]

All of the RBRT stuff I have used works very well.

I think I heard Proto is the same thing for cheaper.

Proto is Stanley's industrial stuff from what i have been told. I have a few of their ratchets and allen head sockets. Been beating on them for over a decade without issue. It's good stuff but for the cost i'd look elsewhere.

Grip edge tools has them too

Does it have something to do with the fact that I use an air hammer to put them in the hex sockets?
