Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the purpose of the Hex-Plus profile?

The Hex-Plus profile provides more contact surface within the screw head, reducing the notching effect and extending the life of the screw.

What materials are the keys made of?

The keys are made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability.

What is the ballpoint feature for?

The ballpoint allows you to drive the screw at an angle, making it easier to reach screws in tight spaces.

How do I clean the keys?

Wipe the keys with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Are the size markings permanent?

The size markings are laser-etched and abrasion-proof for long-lasting readability.

Can I use these keys with other types of screws?

No, these keys are specifically designed for hexagonal socket screws.

What is the benefit of the color-coded sleeves?

The color-coded sleeves make it easier to quickly identify the right key size and prevent confusion.

Troubleshooting

Key doesn't fit the screw.

Double-check the key size against the screw size. Ensure you are using the correct metric or imperial key.

Screw head is stripping.

Make sure you are inserting the hex key fully into the screw head. If the screw is damaged, consider using a screw extractor or replacing the screw.

Color coding is faded or unclear.

Clean the key with a soft cloth. Replace the key if the markings are unreadable.

Rust or corrosion is present.

Clean the key with a rust remover or apply a lubricant to prevent further corrosion. Consider using a stainless steel cleaner.
