Hex key set Bondhus 69699 — 9-piece long ball-end Allen keys 1.5–10 mm, extra-long arm, color

Bondhus 69699 is a 9-piece long ball-end hex key (Allen) set that includes sizes from 1.5 mm to 10 mm. Each key has an extended arm to provide extra reach for recessed or hard-to-access fasteners, while the ball-end tip enables turning at an angle when straight access is not possible. The set is presented in a color-coded holder for quick size identification and organized storage, making it suitable for workshop, bicycle, electronics and general mechanical maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The extra-long arm design increases reach and leverage compared with standard hex keys, allowing easier access to deep or tight fasteners. Ball-end tips permit insertion and turning of screws at an angle up to approximately 25°, reducing the need to reposition the tool. Color coding on each key speeds up size selection and reduces work interruptions. Hardened, precision-machined shafts maintain accurate fit in fastener sockets and resist wear during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Workshop maintenance and assembly tasks
• Bicycle adjustments and repairs
• Electronics and small-appliance service
• General mechanical and industrial fastening work

How to use

Select the hex key that corresponds to the fastener size, using the color coding for quick identification. Insert the short or long arm into the socket depending on required reach and leverage; use the long arm for extra reach and the short arm when greater torque is needed. When access is limited, engage the ball-end tip and insert the key at an angle to turn the fastener. Apply steady, controlled force to avoid rounding the fastener head and ensure proper seating of the hex tip in the fastener recess.

Usage recommendations

Store the set in its holder to protect key tips and keep sizes organized. Inspect the hex tips periodically for wear and replace keys that show rounding. Avoid using hex keys as pry bars or hammers. For high-torque applications, use the short arm or a dedicated torque tool to prevent damage to the fastener or key.
