Tekton star keys with precise geometry tip

Precise Tip Geometry

The star-shaped ends have 6-lobes that are machined to precise tolerances for an exact, high-torque fit with Torx® fasteners that resists camming out. The tips are slightly chamfered to help the keys slide easily into fasteners and reduce wear.

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.
Corroded Eklind and Bondhus ball end hex keys next to Tekton's Key with corrosion-resistant finish.

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.
