FAQs

What materials are the keys made of?

The keys are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, hardened and tempered.

What is the purpose of the T-handle?

The T-handle design maximizes torque, making it easier to loosen or tighten fasteners.

How do I identify the size of the key?

The keys are typically marked with their size. Consult the markings on the key or the fastener.

Can I use these keys on any type of fastener?

The set includes keys for Hexagon and TX-STAR fasteners. Verify the fastener type before use.

How should I store the key set?

Store the keys in the provided heavy-duty plastic stand to keep them organized and protected.

How do I clean the keys?

Wipe the keys with a clean cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What is the advantage of the hexagon ball end?

The hexagon ball end makes it easier to locate the key into position as it can also be used up to at a 30° angle, which is great for difficult to reach areas.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the correct key size and type (Hexagon or TX-STAR) are selected. Check the fastener's markings for size information.
