Paramount PAR17512 Hex Key 1/4 Inch Ball End

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR17512 is a 1/4-inch ball-end hex key designed for fastener driving in confined or angled workspaces. The long arm configuration provides increased torque leverage on standard hex fasteners, while the ball end allows engagement at angles up to 30 degrees off-axis. Constructed from steel, this hex key measures 5-39/64 inches overall length. It is a standard hand tool used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals for equipment assembly, panel access, and component fastening tasks.

The PAR17512 fits typical residential and commercial trade applications where 1/4-inch hex fasteners are encountered on equipment covers, access panels, motor mounts, and similar hardware. The long arm design is suited for reaching recessed fasteners or applying additional turning force in tight installations. This tool is sold individually per package.

Installation Notes

Use this hex key by hand only — do not strike or use with a power driver unless the tool is rated for impact use. Ensure the correct hex size is fully seated in the fastener socket before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener head. Inspect the tool for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damaged.
