Paramount PAR37172 Hex Key 8 Mm Long Arm Steel

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR37172 is a long-arm hex key designed for driving 8 mm hex fasteners in maintenance, assembly, and service applications. Built from steel, it measures 6 inches overall length, giving the long arm additional reach and leverage over short-arm styles. The extra arm length makes it well suited for deep or recessed fastener access. This tool is a standard hand-tool addition to any service technician's kit and requires no power source or special setup to use.

This hex key is used in trade and industrial service work wherever 8 mm metric hex-socket fasteners are encountered. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pool equipment service professionals commonly encounter metric hex fasteners on equipment panels, motor mounts, pump housings, and structural hardware. The long-arm design provides improved torque application compared to standard-arm keys, making it practical for tight fasteners in confined spaces or on heavy equipment.

Key Features

• 8 mm hex drive size for metric fasteners
• Long-arm style provides extended reach and increased torque leverage
• 6-inch overall length for access in recessed or confined locations
• Steel construction for durability under repeated use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8 mm metric hex-socket fasteners commonly found on HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, and mechanical assemblies requiring a long-arm hex key.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pool service professionals during equipment service and assembly. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before using hand tools on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Ensure the correct hex size is seated fully in the fastener socket before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener head. No special certifications or permits are required to use this hand tool.
