L-shaped hex key Wiha 01393

The Wiha 01393 L-shaped hex key is a single-piece metric tool with a long arm of 10.1 cm, designed to provide improved reach and leverage when working with hex screws. The blade is made of through-hardened chrome-vanadium steel and is chrome-plated for corrosion resistance. It conforms to ISO 2936L and includes a ball end that allows use at angles up to 25°, making it suitable for screws in difficult-to-access locations.

Advantages

The chrome-vanadium blade with through-hardening offers strength and wear resistance while the chrome plating reduces corrosion. The long 10.1 cm arm increases leverage and access in confined spaces. Compliance with ISO 2936L ensures standardized dimensions and fit for metric hex fasteners. The ball end expands functionality by permitting angled entry up to 25°.

How to use

Select the L-shaped hex key size that matches the hex socket of the screw. Insert the short or long arm into the fastener depending on required reach and leverage. For restricted access or angled entry, engage the ball end and apply torque at an angle up to 25°. Apply steady, controlled force to avoid rounding the screw head.

Recommendations

Use the tool only with matching metric hex fasteners and avoid excessive torque beyond the fastener or tool rating. Keep the chrome-plated blade clean and dry to minimize corrosion and inspect periodically for wear or burrs that can affect fit.
