Paramount PAR17506 Ball End Hex Key 7/64 Inch Long Arm

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR17506 is a ball end hex key designed for fastener access in confined or angled workspaces. The 7/64 inch hex size suits small-fastener applications common in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies. The long arm style provides increased torque leverage compared to a standard-arm key, while the ball end allows engagement at angles up to approximately 30 degrees off-axis. The key is machined from steel for durability under repeated use. At 3-9/16 inches overall length, it fits a standard hand grip without excess bulk. This tool is used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades wherever hex socket fasteners are encountered.

The PAR17506 is suited for residential and light commercial service work. It handles small hex fasteners found on blower assemblies, electrical panel covers, equipment access doors, and control board mounting hardware. The long arm design is particularly useful when reaching into recessed fastener locations where a short-arm key would lack clearance or leverage. Its compact overall length makes it a practical addition to a field service bag or technician toolbox.

Installation Notes

This tool requires no installation. Before using a hex key on powered equipment, ensure the unit is de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. When using the ball end for angled engagement, avoid applying excessive torque, as off-axis use reduces the effective load capacity of the tip. Inspect the key for rounding or wear before use on critical fasteners.
