Tekton L-key in fastener

Tight Fit with Fasteners

We precisely manufacture our hex key geometry on the large end of the applicable range, resulting in less slop in fasteners.

Two Measures of Tolerance Control

We measure our hex key tolerances in two ways, from point-to-point and side-to-side, to ensure the highest standards of dimensional accuracy and consistency.

20º Ball Angle Increases Access

Our keys implement a steep ball end angle that increases your ability to access fasteners while still maintaining sufficient strength.

Refined Edges

Tekton keys have slightly chamfered edges (except sizes that are too small to be chamfered: 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 0.050 in., 1/16 in., and 5/64 in.) and a smooth top face to optimize engagement with fasteners.

Materials and Finishes

Bar chart comparison between ISO and ASME standards, Tekton, Bondhus, and Eklind L-key minimum proof torque

Maximum Torque Strength

We make our L-keys with 8660 nickel chromium molybdenum steel that's heat-treated to 54-58 HRC to produce tools that are hard, but not brittle. As a result, the maximum torque of the L-keys consistently exceeds the ASME standards for minimum torsion load and the ISO standards for minimum proof torque.

Corrosion-Resistant Finish

We coat all of our keys with a durable manganese phosphate finish that’s resistant to corrosion.

Clear Markings

With the exception of the smallest sizes, Tekton L-key sizes are marked in two ways—both with a high-visibility laser marking and a stamped marking.
