Eklind 18264 SAE Hex Key 1" Tip 13 7/8" Long 3 1/32" Short

SAE Hex Key for 1" Fasteners

The Eklind 18264 is a single-piece SAE hex key sized for 1-inch fastener heads. Its long arm reaches 13 7/8 inches while the short arm measures 3 1/32 inches, providing leverage in deep recesses and clearance in tight spots. The black-oxide finish adds corrosion resistance for shop or field use. Mechanics and maintenance technicians working on large industrial equipment will find this tool matches their fastener size.

Verify Fastener Size and Clearance

Before ordering, confirm the fastener head requires a 1-inch hex drive rather than a metric or smaller SAE size. Measure the available swing radius around the bolt to ensure the 13 7/8-inch long arm can rotate without obstruction. Check that the 3 1/32-inch short arm fits the access point when a lower profile is needed. The tool is non-insulated and non-magnetic, so it is not suited for live electrical work or fastener retrieval.

Replaces Worn or Undersized 1" Hex Keys

This key replaces a rounded, lost or undersized 1-inch hex wrench that no longer engages the fastener flats securely. The upgrade is worth it when the longer leverage arm reduces the force needed on stubborn bolts or when the black-oxide coating extends service life in corrosive environments. It does not suit applications requiring a tether point, insulated grip or metric drive sizes.
