Sunex Tools 26-Piece SAE/Metric Ball End Long Arm Hex Key Set (98526BL)

Sunex Tools 26-Piece SAE/Metric Ball End Long Arm Hex Key Set (98526BL) is a professional-grade solution for fastening and loosening hexagonal socket screws. Built to handle the rigors of automotive and industrial environments, this set provides a full range of sizes to ensure you always have the correct fit for the task at hand. By utilizing Chrome Vanadium (CR-V) steel, these tools provide the necessary strength for high-torque applications without risking tool deformation. The long-arm design is specifically engineered to provide extra reach into deep recesses and increased leverage for stubborn fasteners.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Extended Reach and Access: The long-arm configuration allows users to reach fasteners located in deep or narrow cavities that standard-length keys cannot access.
• Angled Entry Capability: The ball end design on the long arm allows the tool to be used at an angle of up to 25 degrees. This is vital when obstructions prevent a straight-on approach to the fastener.
• High-Strength Material: Constructed from CR-V steel, these keys are designed to resist wear and maintain their hexagonal shape over a long lifespan of use.
• Simplified Fastening: Chamfered edges on the tips of the keys guide the tool into the fastener head smoothly, reducing the risk of stripping the bolt or damaging the tool.
• Efficient Organization: The set is housed in a color-coded caddy that separates SAE and Metric sizes, allowing for immediate identification and keeping the workspace tidy.

Specifications:

• Material: Chrome Vanadium (CR-V) Steel
• Finish: Black Oxide
• Included SAE Sizes: 0.05", 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 7/64", 1/8", 9/64", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8"
• Included Metric Sizes: 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm
• What's in the Box:
  • 13 SAE Hex Keys
  • 13 Metric Hex Keys

How to Use:

• Identify the Fastener: Determine if the bolt head is SAE (Imperial) or Metric and select the corresponding color-coded caddy.
• Select the Size: Choose the hex key that fits snugly into the fastener. A loose fit can cause stripping.
• Direct Access: For high-torque loosening, insert the short end of the "L" into the bolt head and use the long arm as a lever.
• Angled Access: If an obstruction is in the way, insert the ball end of the long arm into the fastener at an angle (up to 25 degrees) to turn the bolt.
• Secure the Tool: After the task is complete, wipe the key clean and return it to its designated slot in the caddy to maintain organization.

Benefits of Using Sunex Tools 26-Piece SAE/Metric Ball End Long Arm Hex Key Set (98526BL):

• Correct Size Availability: Ensures that you are prepared for any hexagonal fastener, whether it follows Metric or SAE standards.
• Reduced Downtime: The ball-end tips allow you to work around components without having to disassemble surrounding parts just to reach a single bolt.
• Reliable Construction: CR-V steel construction prevents the tool from snapping or rounding off under pressure, protecting both the tool and the workpiece.

Features:

• 26 Distinct Sizes: Covering the most common automotive and industrial requirements.
• Ball-End Tips: Permit off-axis rotation for obstructed work areas.
• Black Oxide Finish: Helps prevent corrosion and provides a professional appearance.
• Color-Coded Storage Holders: Red for SAE, Blue for Metric for instant visual recognition.
• Precision-Machined Tips: Ensure maximum contact with the fastener walls.
• L-Key Geometry: Offers a balance between reach and torque.
• Compact Caddy Design: Fits easily into tool chest drawers or portable bags.
