Hex Keys, Short Arm (USA)

Hex keys, also known as Allen keys or Allen wrenches, are compact, L-shaped tools designed to tighten or loosen screws and bolts with hexagonal (hex) socket heads. Hex keys are widely used due to their simple yet effective design and their ability to apply torque to fasteners in tight spaces. They come in various sizes, with each size corresponding to a specific hexagonal socket size.

Hex bits, on the other hand, are similar to hex keys but are designed to be used with power tools such as drills and impact drivers. Hex bits are inserted into the chuck of a power tool and can be used to quickly tighten or loosen screws and bolts with hexagonal sockets.

Both hex keys and hex bits are valuable tools for a wide range of applications, from everyday household tasks to industrial and professional projects. They provide a reliable way to tighten or loosen hexagonal socket screws and bolts efficiently and effectively.
