How to use

Insert the appropriate arm of the L-shaped hex key into the hex socket of the fastener. Use the long arm for greater reach and torque, and the short arm when more clearance is needed. Apply steady turning force, keeping the key aligned with the fastener to avoid rounding. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a toolbox or holder to protect the nickel finish.

Recommendations

Use the hex key sized to the fastener (metric 5.0 mm) to prevent damage. For high torque applications, prefer the long arm for leverage but avoid excessive force that may deform the screw or the tool. Keep the tool dry and periodically inspect for wear.
