Product Information
Full details
The Facom 14mm L-shaped hexagon key is an essential precision tool for professional mechanics, engineers, and industrial technicians who require reliable torque and long-term durability for heavy-duty fastening tasks. Engineered for high-performance applications, it provides a secure fit for standard 14mm metric hex bolts, though users should note that its fixed, non-adjustable L-shape may be restrictive in extremely tight spaces where a T-handle or socket driver would be preferred.

FAQs
Is this key suitable for impact drivers?
No, this is a hand-tool designed for manual torque application. Using it with power tools can lead to tool or fastener damage.
Can I use this on 9/16 inch bolts?
While 14mm is close to 9/16 inch, they are not identical. Using this key on imperial fasteners may cause slippage and damage.
What is the material composition?
It is crafted from high-performance industrial-grade alloy steel, heat-treated for maximum durability.
How do I ensure I get maximum leverage?
Use the long end of the 'L' to maximize the lever arm length when loosening tight bolts.
Does Facom provide a warranty for this tool?
Facom provides a comprehensive professional warranty on its hand tools against manufacturing defects.
Troubleshooting
Tool slips inside the bolt head
Verify that the fastener is exactly 14mm and not an imperial or damaged bolt size.
Surface oxidation or rust appearing
Lightly clean with fine-grit steel wool and apply a thin layer of machine oil for protection.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior material strength resists twisting under high torque
- Precision sizing prevents rounding of bolt heads
- Simple, robust design with no moving parts to fail
- Compact form factor fits easily into standard tool belts or pouches
Cons
- Requires manual clearance space for the long arm
- Lack of integrated handle can be uncomfortable during prolonged high-torque use
- Single-size tool lacks the versatility of a multi-key set
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no formal setup—simply ensure the 14mm size matches your target fastener before application. It is compatible with all standard metric 14mm hex bolts. To maintain the tool: wipe the key with a dry, lint-free cloth after use to remove grease and metal filings. Avoid using the key as a lever for prying, as this can compromise the tempered steel structure. For long-term protection, store the tool in a dry, organized tool box or shadow board to prevent oxidation and ensure it is ready for immediate use.
