Default T Handle Hex Wrenches

I would love to find a set of both Metric and Standard T handle hex wrenches. Fairly long would also be needed. 6-10 Inches or so. MAgnetized would be a plus but not mandatory. Any sources?

Very close. I have 6 landing gear bolts 6 inches deep inside a fuse that is a booger. The bigger head size would be long enough but the ones I would need( the 2.5 mm) would be too short. Many thanks for the thought!! I may end up trying a nut driver and a bit.

Try here. http://www.wihatools.com/default.htm pricey but good quality. Also try Tower for ball drivers, the smaller sizes will be shorter due to the thin shafts twisting and snapping off. I have a set of the tips that fit in the 1/4" screwdriver handle.

Thanks guys. Was able to find a driver extension and a bit to do the job! Love the support that you get from fellow modelers!

For future reference, you can get the 9" t-handles from McMaster-Carr for peanuts, made in the USA by Eklind.
