FAQs

What materials are the hex keys made from?

The hex keys are made from professional quality S2 stainless steel for durability and impact resistance.

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes metric sizes ranging from 1.5mm to 10mm.

What is the purpose of the ball end design?

The ball end allows you to access screws at an angle, up to 25 degrees, which is helpful in tight spaces.

How should I store the hex keys?

Store the hex keys in the provided storage caddy to keep them organized and protected.

Can these keys be used for high-torque applications?

While these keys are made of strong steel, avoid using excessive force, which could damage either the key or the screw.

What should I do if the key doesn't fit the screw?

Double-check that you have the correct metric size. Make sure there is no debris in the screw head or damage to the key. If the key is still not fitting you may need a different size.

How do I maintain the hex keys?

Clean the keys after use, store them in the provided caddy, and avoid over-torquing. Inspect the keys regularly for signs of wear.

Troubleshooting

Hex key doesn't fit the screw.

Double-check that you are using the correct metric size. Check for any obstructions or debris in the screw head.

Key is bending or breaking during use.

Reduce the amount of force applied. Make sure the key is fully inserted into the screw head. If the issue continues, you might need a more robust tool or a replacement key.

Ball end is slipping and not engaging the screw.

Ensure you are using the correct key size and that the screw head is in good condition. Consider using the straight end of the key for higher torque or more precise applications.

Caddy is damaged.

The caddy is there to store the keys. If the caddy is damaged it doesn't affect the use of the keys.
