Yup the bike shop, I got a Trek Y-wrench with a 2, 2.5 & 3mm hex's and its the greatest thing since sliced bread. It covers 99% of all of my hex needs on my Logo and its very comftable to boot.

I got tired of fighting my Gorilla Grip hex tool and said to myself theres got to be a better way.

The price $9.99 + tax so far so good will report back after using it for a while.

Basically they are Heat-treated tool steel hex bits are molded in plastic. Id be afraid to use a cordless screwdriver on any pastic/metal application. Im sure Id melt my heli with a high reving screwdriver. :)
