FAQs
Are these keys ball-end?
No, these keys feature standard flat ends for maximum contact and torque transmission.
What is the smallest size in this set?
The smallest key included is 2.5 mm.
Are these suitable for professional use?
Yes, they are durable enough for professional trades, provided the torque requirements do not exceed the limits of manual hand tools.
Do these come with a storage case?
The set is designed for portability and typically does not include a permanent storage case, though they are compatible with standard roll-up tool pouches.
Can I use these on imperial bolts?
No, these are strictly metric sizes. Using them on imperial fasteners may cause the tool or the bolt head to strip.
Troubleshooting
The key is slipping inside the bolt head
The bolt head may be stripped or you are using the wrong size key. Verify the size or clean the hex socket of any paint or debris.
Difficulty loosening a very tight bolt
Apply a penetrating oil to the bolt and allow it to sit; ensure you are using the longest lever arm available for maximum torque.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This is a manual tool set and requires no setup. To ensure longevity, keep the keys clean of oil and debris after use. While they are corrosion-resistant, it is good practice to wipe them down with a light machine oil if they have been exposed to moisture. Ensure you always use the correct size key for the bolt to prevent 'stripping' the internal hex head; if the key feels loose in the socket, move up to the next size or check for debris inside the bolt head.
