Paramount PAR37201 Hex Key Short Arm 1-13/64 in

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR37201 is a short-arm hex key designed for fastening and loosening hex socket fasteners in confined spaces where a full-length L-key will not fit. The working end is a standard hex tip, and the key is machined from Protanium High Torque Steel, a hardened alloy formulated to resist rounding and handle high-torque applications without deforming the tip. The overall length measures 1-13/64 inches, making it one of the more compact options in the short-arm category. This tool is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pool service professionals who need a precise, durable driver for set screws, motor mounts, and access panel hardware.

The PAR37201 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where tight clearances prevent the use of standard-length hex keys. It fits into equipment panels, motor housings, and valve assemblies where longer keys cannot seat properly. The short-arm design allows the technician to apply controlled torque in restricted bays without sacrificing grip. The gray handle and compact profile make it easy to identify and retrieve in a tool pouch or service bag. This key is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it practical to stock as a consumable or replacement tool.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed trade professionals across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool service disciplines. Before using a hex key on any fastener within an energized system or pressurized assembly, de-energize the equipment and relieve system pressure per applicable safety procedures. Use the correct hex size to avoid rounding the fastener socket. Do not use extension bars or extra leverage devices with short-arm hex keys, as this can exceed the designed torque range and damage the fastener or tool.
