Bondhus

Bondhus Corporation invented the ball-end hex tool in 1964 when founder John Bondhus created the original Balldriver—a revolutionary design that allows technicians to drive fasteners at angles up to 25 degrees for access in confined spaces. Manufactured in Monticello, Minnesota, all Bondhus hex keys, TORX drivers, and screwdrivers are made from proprietary Protanium high-torque steel, a custom-blended alloy that delivers 20% more strength and twice the wear resistance of standard tool steels. The ProGuard finish—a ten-step bonding process—provides five times more corrosion protection than competing finishes without flaking or wiping off like black oxide or plated coatings. Product lines include standard and ball-end L-wrenches in SAE and metric sizes, GorillaGrip fold-up sets with patented six-blade separation and 40% stronger handles than steel alternatives, ProHold tip tools with non-magnetic buttons that securely grip fasteners, T-handle drivers, and complete TORX and tamper-resistant TORX sets. Bondhus tools serve machinists, electronics assembly technicians, automotive repair professionals, bicycle mechanics, and precision manufacturing across 100+ countries worldwide. Every Bondhus tool carries an unconditional lifetime warranty—no questions asked replacement—backed by 60+ years of American manufacturing expertise.
