Hex L‑key Allen wrench Bondhus 3 mm – model 13956, steel L‑shaped hex key

Bondhus 3 mm L‑shaped hex key model 13956 is a compact steel Allen wrench designed for driving 3 mm metric hex fasteners. The tool features a right‑angle L profile that provides leverage and reach for tightening or loosening bolts and set screws in machinery, furniture assembly, bicycles and small equipment. Manufactured by Bondhus, the hex key is intended for routine workshop, service and home use where compatibility with ISO metric hex sockets is required.

Advantages

The solid steel construction delivers consistent torsional strength and wear resistance for repeated use. The L‑shape offers two working lengths: a short end for high torque applications and a long end for access to recessed fasteners. Its compact size makes it easy to carry in a toolbox or pocket while preserving sufficient stiffness for precise turning. The tool is compatible with standard metric hex fasteners and suitable for general maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Assembly and disassembly of furniture and fixtures
• Bicycle maintenance and component adjustment
• Light machinery and equipment servicing
• Electronics enclosures and small appliance repairs

Key specifications

• Size: 3 mm hex key
• Shape: L‑shaped (right angle) design with short and long arms
• Material: steel construction for strength and durability
• Finish: plain steel surface suitable for everyday use
• Compatibility: fits ISO metric hex fasteners with 3 mm internal hex

How to use

Insert the appropriate end of the 3 mm hex key into the hex socket of the fastener until fully seated. Use the short arm for higher torque by holding the short end and turning the long arm, or use the long arm for better reach and control in confined or recessed areas. Apply steady, controlled force to avoid rounding the fastener. After use, store the hex key in a tool holder or toolbox to prevent loss and minimize corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the hex key is fully engaged in the fastener before applying torque. Do not use the tool as a pry bar or hammer. When higher torque is required, consider using the short end as the driver and the long end as the lever to reduce the risk of fastener damage.
