FAQs

What sizes are included in this 13-piece set?

The set includes imperial hexagon keys ranging from 3/32 inches to 3/4 inches.

Are these keys suitable for metric bolts?

No, this set is specifically designed for imperial (inch-based) fasteners. Using them on metric bolts may result in a poor fit and damage to the fastener or the key.

What is the best way to store these Allen keys?

It is best to store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Using a tool roll or a toolbox organizer will help keep them together and prevent loss.

How durable is the Facom 82H.JU13 set?

Facom is known for producing high-quality, durable tools. This set is constructed for reliability and resistance to wear under normal use conditions.

Can I use these keys for high-torque applications?

The L-shape provides leverage for moderate torque applications. For extremely high-torque needs, specialized tools might be more appropriate, but for general use, these keys are robust.

What is the tip type of these keys?

These keys feature a hexagon tip type, designed for optimal engagement with hex sockets.

Troubleshooting

Key does not fit the fastener.

Verify that the fastener is indeed an imperial size. Ensure you are using the correct imperial key size from the set. Check for any debris in the fastener socket or on the key tip.

Key tip is rounding or stripping.

Ensure you are using the correct size key and applying firm, straight pressure. Avoid excessive force or angle. If the tip is already damaged, discontinue use of that specific key to prevent damaging fasteners.

Keys are difficult to keep organized.

Utilize a tool roll or a compartmentalized toolbox. For longer-term storage, consider a dedicated wrench organizer.
