Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone using the Blue Spot Tools 9 PCE Extra-Long Ball End Hex Key Set. The key benefit is accessing hard-to-reach areas thanks to their extra-long design. Note that while the ball end allows for easier entry, it might not provide as much torque as a standard hex key in some situations. This set includes nine hex keys ranging from 1.5mm to 10mm, manufactured from chrome vanadium with a matt finish. It also features a labelled hex key holder for organized storage.

FAQs

What are the hex key sizes included in the set?

The set includes hex key sizes from 1.5mm to 10mm.

What material are the hex keys made of?

The hex keys are made from chrome vanadium.

What is the purpose of the ball end?

The ball end allows for easier insertion and use at angles.

Can I use these keys for high-torque applications?

While durable, the ball end design may limit the torque compared to standard hex keys. Consider the application before use.

How do I store the hex keys?

The set comes with a labeled holder for organized and convenient storage.

How do I clean the hex keys?

Wipe the keys with a dry cloth after each use to remove any dirt or debris. For rust, use a wire brush and apply oil.

What should I do if a key is damaged?

If a key is damaged, discontinue use. Replace the damaged key to prevent damage to fasteners or injury to yourself.

Troubleshooting

Hex key doesn't fit the bolt.

Double-check the hex key size against the bolt size. Use the correct key for a proper fit.

The ball end slips or doesn't provide enough grip.

Ensure the key is fully inserted into the fastener. If the torque is too high, consider using a standard (non-ball end) hex key or a different tool.

Keys are difficult to remove from the holder.

Ensure the keys are aligned correctly with their slots. If the holder is damaged, consider replacing it.
