ALLEN KEYS
C.K Allen Keys & Hex Key Sets
Shop C.K Allen keys at Order Electrical, with professional hex keys and sets from Carl Kammerling (C.K Tools) for electricians, engineers, installers and maintenance professionals.
Also commonly known as hex keys, hexagon keys or Allen wrenches, these compact hand tools are designed for tightening and loosening screws and bolts with an internal hexagonal socket.
C.K Allen keys are useful for a wide range of electrical installation, maintenance, engineering and assembly tasks, including working with electrical equipment, enclosures, machinery, brackets, fixings and other components that use hex socket fasteners.
Depending on the product, options can include individual hex keys, metric Allen key sets, long-arm keys and ball-end hex keys. Sets provide a convenient range of sizes for dealing with different fasteners encountered on site or in the workshop.
Choosing the Right Allen Keys
When choosing Allen keys or a hex key set, first check whether the fastener requires a metric or imperial size, as using an incorrectly sized key can damage the socket.
Long-arm keys can provide additional leverage and reach, while shorter arms can be useful where working space is restricted. Ball-end Allen keys, where available, can allow a hex fastener to be approached at a slight angle, making them particularly useful where direct access is difficult.
For frequently encountered fasteners, consider a set containing a good spread of sizes rather than relying on a single key. The correct size should fit positively into the fastener with minimal movement before torque is applied.
