SAE ball-end hex key set

This five-piece Eklind 18228 set provides SAE hex keys with a 7/16 in tip size. The ball-end design allows angled access to fasteners in tight spots. Each key measures 7 1/2 in on the long arm and 1 1/2 in on the short arm. A black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance for workshop durability.

Mechanics needing 7/16 in hex access

Technicians who regularly service SAE fasteners at 7/16 in will find the long reach and angled entry useful. The set is not suited for metric hardware or smaller SAE sizes. Buyers who need insulated tools for electrical work should look elsewhere. The non-tethered design also rules out mandatory drop-prevention environments.

7/16 in tip size across five keys

The single specification that decides fit is the 7/16 in tip size on every key in the pack. If the application calls for a different hex dimension, this set will not engage the fastener. Confirm the required size before ordering.

Questions about this item

What SAE size does the 7/16 in tip fit?

The 7/16 in tip fits SAE fasteners of the same size and the long arm provides 7 1/2 in of leverage for high torque.

Will the 7 1/2 in long arm clear deep recesses?

Yes, the 7 1/2 in long arm reaches deep bolts while the 1 1/2 in short arm works in tight spots.

How do I use the ball end without rounding the fastener?

Insert the ball end fully, keep the key straight for maximum contact, and switch to the short arm for final tightening.
