Paramount PAR34160 T-handle Ball End Hex Key 4.00 Mm

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR34160 is a T-handle ball end hex key designed for metric fastener applications requiring controlled torque delivery. It features a 4.00 mm hex drive with a ball end tip, allowing fastener engagement at off-axis angles without removing the key from the socket. The cushion grip T-handle provides a comfortable, high-torque driving surface. The key is machined from Protanium High Torque Steel, a hardened alloy formulation built to resist cam-out and deflection under load. Overall length measures 8-45/64 inches. This tool is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pool service professionals working with metric hex fasteners in equipment panels, motor mounts, and valve assemblies.

The PAR34160 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where metric hex fasteners are common. Typical applications include tightening or loosening set screws on motor shafts, adjusting equipment mounting hardware, and servicing pump or valve assemblies. The ball end geometry is particularly useful in confined spaces where a straight-on approach to the fastener is not practical. This tool is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 2 units.

Key Features

• 4.00 mm metric hex drive for precise fastener fit
• Ball end tip allows engagement at off-axis angles in tight spaces
• T-handle cushion grip provides ergonomic high-torque control
• Protanium High Torque Steel construction resists cam-out and wear
• Overall length of 8-45/64 inches for extended reach

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard metric 4.00 mm hex fasteners found in HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, electrical enclosures, and pool equipment installations.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed trade professionals across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool service disciplines. Always power down or isolate equipment before loosening or tightening fasteners on live assemblies. The ball end tip is intended for low-torque engagement at angles; use the straight end of the key for final high-torque seating. Inspect the tip for wear before use on precision fasteners to avoid rounding the hex socket.
