FAQs

What material are these Allen keys made from?

The keys are made from S2 hardened steel, known for its durability and resistance to wear.

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes 9 pieces in sizes: 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm.

Can I use these for metric screws?

The set is designed for hex socket screws, and the included sizes are imperial. While some metric fasteners might have similar dimensions, it's best to use the correct size for optimal fit and to avoid damage.

What is the benefit of the ball end design?

The ball end allows for easier insertion into the screw head and enables you to work at an angle, making it ideal for accessing fasteners in tight or hard-to-reach spaces.

How do I clean and care for the Allen keys?

Wipe them clean with a dry cloth after use and store them in a dry place to prevent rust and maintain their condition.

Is this set suitable for professional use?

Yes, the S2 hardened steel construction and robust design make it suitable for demanding professional applications as well as DIY projects.

Does the set come with a storage case?

This specific product information does not mention a storage case being included with the set.

Troubleshooting

Allen key slips in the screw head.

Ensure you are using the correct size allen key. Check if the screw head is damaged or rounded. If so, you may need a screw extractor or a new screw.

Difficulty applying enough torque.

Utilize the longer end of the allen key for increased leverage. Ensure the key is fully seated in the screw head. For very tight fasteners, a penetrating oil may help.

Allen key shows signs of wear or damage.

Inspect the tip for deformation or rounding. If damaged, discontinue use to prevent stripping screws and replace the affected allen key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a manual tool set; no setup is required beyond selecting the appropriate key for the fastener. Ensure the chosen key size fits snugly into the screw head before applying torque.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Clean the keys after each use with a dry cloth to remove debris.
  2. Store the set in a dry environment to prevent rust.
  3. Avoid using excessive force that could strip the fastener or damage the key.
  4. Regularly inspect keys for wear or damage. Replace any damaged keys immediately.
