SKU CH-0J84-5N794

A 1/4" hex key with short-arm reach and corrosion-resistant chrome finish

  • Product typePipe Wrenches
  • Main materialHAWA
  • Chrome finish resists corrosion in damp conditions
  • Insulated construction protects against electric shock
  • SAE 1/4 inch tip fits standard fasteners
  • Long arm 5 19/64 in gives extra leverage
  • Short arm 1 1/2 in works in tight spaces

Purpose-built hex key

The Wiha Tools L-shape hex key delivers a single 1/4" tip for SAE fasteners. Chrome-plated HAWA steel resists corrosion and is insulated for safer work around live circuits. Non-magnetic construction avoids unwanted pickup of metal debris. The short length family suits confined spaces where a standard driver cannot reach.

Thermal and power profile

Hand-operated tools generate no heat, draw no power and produce no audible noise during normal use. The insulated coating maintains its properties across typical workshop temperatures. No electrical supply or cooling consideration is required for this manual wrench.

Included accessories and software

The product ships as a single hex key with no additional bits, holders or software. Tether-ready features are absent, so drop-prevention lanyards must be sourced separately. The non-sparking rating is not certified, limiting use in classified hazardous locations.

Questions about this item

How do I seat the 1/4 in tip fully in the fastener without rounding the corners?

Insert the short 1 1/2 in arm completely into the hex socket before applying torque; the long 5 19/64 in arm is for leverage only, not for initial engagement.

Will the chrome finish on this hex key wear off and need replacement?

The chrome coating is corrosion resistant and non‑magnetic; under normal use it does not require scheduled replacement.

At what point does the short arm length limit the torque I can apply on a stuck bolt?

The 1 1/2 in short arm limits leverage first; sustained force on tight fasteners will hit that mechanical limit before the long arm or material yields.
