These Weras are, by far, the best hexes I have ever used:

Edited to add: Are you on a carbon or aluminum frame? Sounds like you need fiber grip or something in there.
These are the ones I have:

The color-coding is surprisingly useful.
They also have a stainless set that is specifically for stainless fasteners.
This took waaaay too long to measure, test and design but I think it was worth it! (although they still don't line up at the angle I wanted :( )
This is a Allen/Hex key holder made for one of these sets or it's equivalents.

It's made to fit in the keyhole slots on this pegboard. Although the mounting brackets are only super-glued on so you can make your own mounting brackets if needed.
If you have any changes you think I should make, please let me know
And if you do print it, be sure to show me a pic please!
EDIT: no idea why the thumbnail is messedup :(
I have 2 sets of hex keys. The metric are blue, and the fractionals are red.
I do find that quite useful. Its not difficult to visually distinguish a 4mm from a 5mm. 5mm and 3/16" on the other hand, the color makes that easy.
Blue metric and red imperial do seem quite consistent across manufacturers, at least here in Australia.
Im not particularly sold on using multiple colors within one set.
No problem, in no particular order of relevance, a few other great ones to consider are:
Knipex Pliers Wrench - My single favorite tool ever
Felco C7 Cable Cutters - You can usually find these used and sharpened for $20 on eBay
Dualco Grease Gun - Your bike needs grease, this makes it easy
Motorex 2000 Waterproof Grease - Can grease be beautiful? I think so. Exactly like the Dura Ace grease
Wera Hex+ Keys - I know you have some already, but the slightly scalloped faces of these "hex plus" keys really do allow you to remove very stuck fasteners without stripping, and I have even removed bolts stripped with standard keys
You are using a metric key on an imperial keyhole or vice versa, but if you're sure you're not these work wonders occasionally https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wera-05073593001-Hex-Plus-Mulicolour-Ball-end/dp/B009ODV0OE
​
If the screws are really stripped, you can either epoxy a bolt in them and use that to take it out, or use one of those stripped screw removers and a drill.
Only a month late getting back to you on this...
The three case with three handles are all torque screwdrivers

These bad mamma jammas are probably some of the best you can buy.
Wera HexPlus is the ones that will work on rounded allens. There are tons of YouTube videos showing how they work. I ordered my set from Amazon IIRC.
I got these keys to replace these wera keys. They’re the same other than the color coded sleeve for the most part
Edit why is this getting downvoted ?
