I have two other hex sets, along with various all in one tools, but used the long Park Tools ones at the LBS one day when I was messing with my pedals and really liked the ease of use because of the handle and length of the tool.
Oh well, just a little sad when you think you buy something nice, and it turns out not to be.
Sounds like you got a bad one, seeing how beat up they can get at shops and still be good for more punishment.
I would try to exchange or warranty that. Park tool gets their standalone hex wrenches all made by bondhus nevertheless; their multitools are not.
