Paramount PAR37212 Hex Key 1/4 Inch Short Arm

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR37212 is a short-arm hex key designed for fastener drive applications in tight or confined spaces. It features a 1/4 inch hex end and measures 3-19/64 inches in overall length, making it well-suited for situations where a standard long-arm key would interfere with surrounding components. The short-arm configuration provides increased torque leverage on the grip end while allowing the working end to access recessed fasteners in confined assemblies. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals keep short-arm hex keys like this in their service kits for equipment panel fasteners, set screws, and component mounting hardware.

This hex key is appropriate for general trade use across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool service applications where 1/4 inch hex drive fasteners are encountered. The compact overall length of 3-19/64 inches suits residential and light commercial equipment access panels, motor mount set screws, valve packing nuts, and similar hardware. It is sold individually per package.

• Short-arm style at 3-19/64 inches overall length for confined-space access

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed trade professionals across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool service disciplines. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before accessing internal fasteners. Shut off gas or water supply as applicable before removing access panels or components secured by hex fasteners. Inspect the hex key tip for wear before use to avoid rounding fastener sockets.
