Allen Keys

L-Keys, commonly known as hex or Allen keys, are a must-have tool for professionals and DIYers alike. They get the name L-key from their L-shaped body and hex key from the hexagonal head shape. They’re used for fastening screws and tightening fixtures that also have a hexagonal shape. The shape of the L-Keys allows leverage when tightening and loosening screws without stripping the metal.

What L-Keys do We Offer?

At Mr. Tools, we carry different types of L-Keys, including:

• Wera Allen Keys - Our Wera Allen Keys are color-coded to easily find the size needed. Available in both metric and standard sizes. 

• Sets - Choose from a variety of different L-Key sets, complete with a storage rack, clip fastener, or sleeve to keep the keys organized between jobs. 

• Ball Ends - Used in hard-to-reach places. The rounded edge on the ball end allows users to insert the L-key at an angle. 

• Long Keys - L-Keys that are designed to be longer in length than the typical allen key. 

How to Know Which Set is Best for You?

Before you purchase one of our allen keys or allen key sets, keep in mind the following:

• Size - Knowing the correct size of the screws ahead of time will help you decide which type of L-Key to purchase. Whether you will need the metric or the standard set. 

• Budget - Buying a set will save you money in the long run, as prices can add up when buying sizes separately.

• Style - Choose from black or colored L-Keys.

• The colored keys are colored by size, which helps users find the key size they are looking for faster.

• The black keys are finished with BlackLaser, a corrosion protector that helps them stay in good condition. 

• Project - The project you are completing can help determine which type of hex keys to use. The long keys are a great choice when you need to apply a higher amount of torque, while shorter keys give you more control, and ball-end keys are great for tight spaces or angles. 

At Mr. Tools, we provide our customers with the best tools on the market. We understand that each builder has their own preference when it comes to tools. For this reason, we have a large selection of L-Keys to choose from to ensure you find the best option for you!
