I have a few small sets Allen keys - and then I bought a very complete set at Harbor Freight for not much money. 25 keys in the set, Imperial and Metric. Yes, of course - made in China. But they are not junk steel.

Buy BONDHUS hex keys. Best made for not much more $$, especially since when you NEED it, nothing else will do.

We all love good tools. I have a mixture of good and ordinary. I love my Fluke 87 multimeter, my Hilti laser measure, my Hakko soldering station and so on. But the toolbox also contains some that are a bit ordinary.
Sometimes you have to compromise.

I've got a SkilSaw that's OLDER than me. As is my 1/2" drill I can hardly lift. I also have a Scintilla jigsaw, who later sold the whole thing to BOSCH. That was quite a while ago.But I do have a world-class cheap-o meter and a Hakko.
Yeah, i get it. I bought a jack plane at my school for 20$. Took 3 hours to flatten the base and another hour to sharpen the steel, but that is one sweet plane.
The reason I suggest Bondhus keys? Very good metal and once you round out the head of the screw, you ARE screwed. This is one of those things that the best only costs a little more than good so it is worth it.
That's why I own a Seiko watch. Not a Rolex or a Breitling or whatever, but keeps as good a time as money can buy. I'd love an Omega Seamaster, but not going to sweat it if I never get one.
