FAQs

What materials are the hex keys made of?

The hex keys are made from chrome vanadium steel, hardened and tempered for durability.

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes the following metric sizes: 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm.

What is the purpose of the ball end?

The ball end on the long arm allows the key to access screws at an angle, increasing versatility.

How do I store the hex keys?

The set comes with a steel storage rack that can be wall-mounted for convenient storage.

Can I use these keys for imperial fasteners?

No, these keys are designed for metric fasteners only.

What is the advantage of the T-handle?

The T-handle design provides extra comfort and leverage, making it easier to apply torque.

How do I clean the hex keys?

Wipe the keys clean with a dry cloth after each use to remove any dirt or debris.

Troubleshooting

Hex key is too loose in the screw head.

Check if you are using the correct size key for the screw. Ensure the key is fully inserted into the screw head.

Hex key is stuck in the screw head.

Apply penetrating oil to the screw and let it sit for a few minutes. Try gently tapping the key with a hammer while turning.

Handle is damaged.

If the handle is damaged, the key may still be usable, but the grip will be less comfortable. Consider replacing the set if the damage is extensive.

Pros

  • Comfortable soft-grip handles for extended use.
  • Durable chrome vanadium steel construction.

  • Organized storage with included rack.

Cons

  • Ball end may not be suitable for high-torque applications.
  • Limited to metric sizes; not suitable for imperial fasteners.
  • The ball end can be less effective than a standard hex end in some situations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The set comes with a steel storage rack that can be mounted on a wall for easy access and organization. Simply use appropriate screws to secure the rack to a wall. Ensure the wall is capable of supporting the weight of the key set.

Compatibility

The hex keys are designed for use with metric fasteners. Check the size of the hex socket on your screw or bolt to ensure compatibility with the corresponding key size.

Care

  • After each use, wipe the keys clean with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
