Was looking last night for a good set of allen key that will fit my tippmann and bob long in the shops. Prob is when you buy a set you get 50% that are to big for the markers, cheap soft metal and they cost £10.50 a set.

I wouldn't mind spending £10ish on a good set thats more relevent for my markers. Does anyone know where to get a set?

I've tried B&Q and wicks

May aswell buy a set from Planet, I have not owned a Tipmann but I am guessing they use the standard sizes that dye and eclipse use. its £2.92 you will have to pay delivery on it, so might be worth getting a jersey or something nice to get free delivery.

good think about the planet allen keys is that you can get into the hard to reach
places such as the grip frame screws
because the tips are slightly angled meaning you can slightly angle the allen key but still undo the screw

and for the money, a couple of quid, deffinately worth it even if you don't have an ego

Well in the end got some from the huge B&Q near me a folding set for £3 odd. Shouldn't loose these :D

Also did what you lot told me too and picked up 2 energizer ultimate 9v's for £3:17 each. I know they where expensive but i need them for tomorrow.

As for the comment about supporting the paintball industry. I've spent over 2k on stuff in the last 3 months so i'm sure they won't mind me going B&Q for the odd thing lol
