  • Product typeHex/Torx Keys
  • Precision fit from exact dimensional tolerances

  • Black oxide finish on alloy steel blade resists corrosion
  • Pack of 10 keys covers multiple tasks

Single Tip Size

The Westward L-Shape Ball-End Hex Key features a 1/8 inch SAE tip size formed to exact dimensional tolerances for a precise fit. Heat-treated alloy steel construction provides high strength and resistance to rotational distortion during use. The black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance to the steel blade. This tool is designed for professionals and DIY users requiring a reliable hex driver.

Ten-Piece Package

A package quantity of 10 ensures multiple keys are available for workshop organisation or team distribution. Each key includes a plain grey steel handle measuring 3/4 inch in length for direct leverage. The standard tool design requires an accessory for tethering if drop prevention is needed. The uninsulated, nonsparking construction suits general mechanical fastening tasks.

25-Degree Working Angle

The ball-end geometry allows a working angle of 25 degrees for access to fasteners in obstructed locations. An arm length of 3-3/4 inches provides reach into recessed areas while maintaining torque capability. The tool meets or exceeds ANSI standards for dimensional accuracy and performance. Buyers needing metric sizes or insulated handles for electrical work should select a different product.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/8" ball-end tip on these Westward keys wear out or need replacement?

The heat-treated alloy steel resists rotational distortion, so the tip maintains its shape through normal use without scheduled replacement.

What limits continuous use of the 25-degree working angle on the 1/8" hex key?

The 25-degree working angle allows access in tight spots, and the alloy steel construction prevents the limit from being material fatigue during sustained turning.

Does the black oxide finish on the steel handles get hot or slippery during all-day use?

The plain steel handle with black oxide finish stays cool and provides consistent grip without becoming slippery during extended hand-powered operation.
