Eklind Tool Co 14236 Long Hex L Key 9/16 Inch

Product Description

The EKLIND TOOL CO 14236 is a long-arm hex L key designed to drive internal hexagon socket fasteners, commonly called Allen head fasteners. The long arm measures 9 inches and the short arm measures 1.75 inches, giving the tool added reach and leverage compared to standard-length keys. It is sized at 9/16 inch to fit the corresponding socket drive size. The tool is manufactured from Eklind Alloy Steel that has been heat treated, quenched, and tempered for optimum strength, torque capacity, and ductility. A rust-resistant finish protects the tool in demanding shop and field environments. Technicians across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades reach for this style of key when working with equipment panels, motor mounts, and mechanical assemblies secured with hex socket fasteners.

This L key is suited for maintenance, installation, and repair work in both residential and commercial settings. The long-arm design is especially useful in confined spaces where a full swing is not possible, allowing the short arm to be used for driving while the long arm provides grip and fine torque control. It is a standard hand tool found in HVAC service kits, plumbing tool bags, and general maintenance carts wherever Allen head fasteners are encountered.

Installation Notes

This is a hand tool requiring no power source or special installation. Before servicing any equipment, de-energize electrical systems and shut off fluid supply or gas service as required by the applicable trade and local codes. Use the long arm for access and the short arm for applying higher torque. Avoid using cheater bars or extensions on the key arms, as overloading can damage the fastener or the tool.
