Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material are the hex keys made from?

The hex keys are made from high-quality S2 steel, known for its durability and resistance to wear.

What sizes of hex keys are included?

The set includes hex keys ranging from 2mm to 10mm.

What is the purpose of the red polymer coating?

The red polymer coating on the hex keys provides a superior grip, enhancing control and comfort during use, especially in challenging conditions.

Can I use other 1/4" bits with the included adaptor?

Yes, the custom S2 steel bit adaptor is designed to work with standard 1/4" bits, expanding the tool's versatility.

How does the tool stay secured in the box?

Each tool is held in place by custom CNC-machined slots and specially designed elastomeric retention tabs, ensuring they stay secure even when the box is moved.

Is this tool set suitable for professional use?

Yes, the high-quality materials, durable construction, and organized presentation make it suitable for both professional mechanics and serious enthusiasts.

How should I clean the beechwood box?

Wipe the beechwood box with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or abrasive cleaners to maintain the wood's finish and integrity.

Troubleshooting

Hex key feels loose in bolt head.

Ensure you are using the correct hex key size for the bolt. Clean any debris from both the key and the bolt head. The S2 steel construction minimizes stripping, but verify the bolt head itself is not damaged.

Bit adaptor is difficult to attach or remove.

Check the 1/4" bit and the adaptor for any dirt or debris. Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the adaptor. Wiggle gently while pulling or pushing to avoid forcing.

Beechwood box closure is weak.

Inspect the magnetic contact points on both sides of the box for any obstruction, such as dust or small particles. Wipe them clean with a soft cloth. Ensure the box is closing fully.

Tool does not sit securely in its slot.

Check that the tool is oriented correctly within its machined slot and that the elastomeric retention tab is properly engaged over the tool. Ensure no debris is preventing a secure fit.
