Bike Tool Set in Tool Tray — Hex/Torx T-Handles & Screwdrivers (1600SOS27)

The tools a bench mechanic reaches for most often aren’t the specialty tools; they’re the T-handle hex wrenches and the screwdrivers that come out for every shifter cable, every brake-lever clamp, every cleat bolt, every cockpit adjustment. The Unior 1600SOS27 tray bundles the everyday hex, Torx, screwdriver, and awl inventory in one foam-cut drawer, sized to the working sizes that actually see the bench.

What’s in the tray

T-handle hex wrenches (193HX-US): 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm (8 wrenches); full range from stem face-plate bolt fasteners (4 mm) through crank-bolt access (8 mm).

T-handle Torx wrenches (193TX-US): T8, T10, T15, T20, T25, T27, T30 (7 wrenches); the everyday Torx range: small Di2 fasteners (T10), SRAM AXS shifter clamp bolts (T20, T25), rotor bolts (T25), modern chainring bolts (T30).

Insulated screwdrivers (VDE-rated to TBI insulation standard):

• Electrician’s flat-blade screwdriver (603VDETBI): 0.8 × 4.0 × 100 mm
• Crosstip (PH) screwdriver (613VDETBI): PH1 × 80 mm and PH2 × 100 mm (2 screwdrivers)

Awl:

• Awl with round, double-bent blade (639C): 165 mm; for cable-routing pickup and gasket-and-O-ring placement.

The tray ships with the empty foam shell (vl.1600SOS27, 564 × 364 × 30 mm) and the Made for Work label.

Why these tools share a tray

T-handle hex and Torx wrenches are the bench mechanic’s primary tools, in the way that “primary” means “used in 80% of service tickets.” The T-handle format trades a small amount of fitment versatility (you can’t reach every angle with a T-handle that a ball-end L-key reaches) for a large amount of speed; the T-handle’s two-hand grip and the rotational mechanical advantage shave seconds off every fastener engagement.

For the angle-restricted work the T-handle can’t reach, the 1600SOS23 tray carries the Y-handle and L-shape variants. The two trays complement: 1600SOS27 covers daily-driver everyday work; 1600SOS23 covers the corner cases.

Companion trays in the modular series:

Built in Zreče, Slovenia

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče, Slovenia, since 1919, and is the official technical partner of multiple World Tour and downhill teams. The T-handle hex and Torx tools in the 193HX-US and 193TX-US lines use hardened-and-tempered chrome-vanadium steel shanks with black-oxide tip treatment; the corrosion-and-fit profile that hex/Torx working tips need.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The 1600SOS27 is one of the two trays a new shop should specify on day one (alongside the drivetrain 1600SOS25 tray). Together they cover the everyday hex/Torx work and the everyday drivetrain work that account for most service tickets.
