Eklind Tool Co 14618 Long Hex L Key 9.0mm

Product Description

The EKLIND TOOL CO 14618 is a long-arm hex L key designed to drive internal hexagon socket fasteners, commonly called Allen head fasteners. The 9.0mm key features a long arm of 6.58 inches and a short arm of 1.54 inches, giving technicians extended reach into recessed fastener locations where a standard-length key cannot seat properly. The tool is machined from Eklind Alloy Steel that has been heat treated, quenched, and tempered for maximum strength, torque transmission, and ductility. A rust-resistant finish protects the steel in shop and field environments. Trade professionals across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical service use these keys regularly in equipment assembly and repair work.

The 14618 is suited for any application requiring a metric 9.0mm internal hex drive. Common use cases include tightening or loosening Allen head cap screws, set screws, and socket head bolts found in HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. The long arm provides additional leverage for higher-torque fasteners, while the short arm allows for fast rotation in open access areas. Packaged 6 units per package, making it a practical stocking item for service vehicles and shop tool kits.

Compatibility

Designed to fit any standard 9.0mm internal hexagon socket fastener. Suitable for use in HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, and general mechanical assemblies that use metric Allen head or socket head cap screws.

Installation Notes

Use this key with hand pressure only — do not extend the handle with pipe or additional leverage beyond the designed arm length, as this can damage the tool or the fastener socket. Ensure the key is fully seated in the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Mechanics and service technicians should confirm fastener size before use, as metric and SAE hex sizes can appear similar. Clean fastener sockets of debris before seating the key to maintain proper engagement.
