Old Park hex keys finally won me over after years of doubt

I spent years using whatever random Allen keys came in the cheap sets from the hardware store, figured spending $40 on a proper set was a waste of money. Then I had to torque a bunch of carbon seatposts on three different builds last month in Portland and the ball ends on the Park PH-1 set grabbed every angle without stripping, even on an old rusty bolt that snapped two cheap keys prior. That convinced me, but it also made me wonder, has anyone else found one specific tool that forced them to eat their words, and what did it cost you?

That same ball end saved me on a stripped rotor bolt last week, totally worth the price now.
