Advantages:

Comprehensive Set: Contains 10 pieces ranging from 2mm to 10mm, ensuring versatility for various tasks.
Extra Long Design: Provides additional reach for tighter spots or deeper recesses.
Ball End Feature: Allows for easier angle insertion, especially in awkward positions.
Durable Construction: Made of high-quality materials ensuring longevity.

Disadvantages:

Length: While it allows for better reach, it might not be suitable for tasks requiring compact tools.
Weight: The extended length might add to the weight, potentially causing hand fatigue over prolonged usage.
Risk of Over Torque: Due to the extra leverage from the length, there’s a potential to apply excessive torque, which might damage the fastener or the tool.

Solution: Use the straight end of the hex key for tasks that require heavy torque.

Problem: Misplacing individual keys from the set.
Solution: Use a dedicated tool pouch or holder to keep them organised.

Problem: Difficulty in identifying the right size quickly.
Solution: Label or mark each key with its size or use a tool roll with size indicators.
