Allen Keys

Allen keys (hex keys) tighten and loosen fasteners with hexagonal sockets.  Metric and imperial sets are essential for assembling furniture, adjusting machinery and repairing bicycles.  Ball end versions allow angled entry in tight spaces.

What are Allen keys used for?
Allen keys, also known as hex keys or hex wrenches, are used to tighten or loosen screws and bolts with hexagonal sockets. They’re commonly found in furniture assembly, bicycles, machinery, and automotive applications. Their L-shaped design provides good leverage and reach for confined spaces.

What types of Allen keys are available?
Allen keys come in several forms:

  • L-shaped keys – standard and most common

  • T-handle or ball-end keys – provide better grip and access at angles

  • Folding sets – compact and convenient for on-the-go use

  • Metric and imperial sizes – important to match the fastener type
    Some sets include color-coded or long-arm designs for improved visibility and control.

How do I choose the right Allen key or set?
Choose based on:

  • Fastener type – make sure you select metric or imperial depending on the application

  • Material quality – chrome vanadium or heat-treated steel ensures strength and durability

  • Handle style – standard L-keys for general use, T-handles for high torque, and ball-end types for angled access
    A full set is ideal for workshops, mechanical repairs, and furniture assembly, ensuring you always have the right size on hand.
