  • Product typeStrap Wrenches
  • Main materialHAWA

  • 3/8 in hex tip fits SAE fasteners securely
  • L-shape design provides leverage in tight spaces

Single 3/8-inch hex tip

The Wiha Tools L-shape hex key provides one 3/8-inch tip for SAE fasteners. Its chrome finish adds corrosion resistance and the tool is insulated for electrical safety. The short-arm length family keeps the profile compact for tight access. Non-magnetic construction avoids attracting metal debris during use.

Replaces rounded or missing SAE hex keys

Upgrade when an existing 3/8-inch key is worn, stripped or lost and a non-sparking, tether-ready alternative is not required. The insulated shaft makes the jump worthwhile for work near live circuits where standard keys pose a shock risk. Single-tip design means no extra sizes are included.

Limited to one SAE size and manual torque

The fixed 3/8-inch tip cannot address metric or other SAE sizes, so a set is needed for broader coverage. Insulation protects the user but does not increase the torque limit of the short lever arm. Chrome plating resists rust yet offers no grip advantage on rounded fastener heads.

Questions about this item

What length is the long arm of this 3/8 inch hex key?

The long arm measures 9 3/16 inches, giving extra reach for deep or recessed fasteners while the short arm is 1 5/8 inches for tight spots.

How do I use the short and long arms correctly when tightening a bolt?

Use the short arm for initial high-torque breakaway, then switch to the long arm for faster rundown; the common mistake is forcing the long arm first and rounding the hex.

Does the chrome finish need any upkeep to stay corrosion resistant?

Wipe the key clean after use and store it dry; the chrome plating provides corrosion resistance without requiring lubrication or re-coating.
