Hex Key (Imperial) Bondhus 1/8 in, 58 mm length

Bondhus 1/8 in hex key, 58 mm length, is a single-piece L-shaped hex wrench designed for driving 1/8" hex fasteners. The compact 58 mm arm provides reach and leverage in confined spaces while the short arm offers control for standard manual tightening and loosening of bolts and screws. Manufactured to meet typical workshop and maintenance requirements, this imperial-size hex key is suitable for assembly, repair and general maintenance tasks that require a reliable hand tool.

Advantages

The one-piece construction ensures torsional strength and durability under repeated use. Its 58 mm length balances reach and control, enabling access to recessed fasteners while retaining sufficient leverage. The L-shape provides two working lengths for versatility. The tool is compatible with 1/8" hex fasteners and is compact enough for use in toolkits or on-job pockets.

Suitable for

• Assembly of furniture and equipment with 1/8" hex fasteners
• Maintenance and repair of mechanical devices using imperial hex screws
• Work in confined or recessed spaces where a short, sturdy hex key is required

Key specifications

• Hex size: 1/8 inch (imperial)
• Overall length (long arm): 58 mm
• Shape: L-shaped (single-piece)
• Material: hardened tool steel (typical for hex keys)
• Finish: durable surface treatment for wear resistance (typical)

How to use

Select the 1/8" hex key and insert the short or long arm into the hex socket of the fastener depending on required access and torque. Use the short arm for higher torque and the long arm for reach. Turn the wrench clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. Apply steady, controlled force to avoid rounding the fastener head. Withdraw the key straight out from the socket to prevent slippage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tip for wear before use and clean any debris from fastener sockets. Use the correct hex size to reduce risk of rounding, and avoid excessive force or impact on the wrench. Store in a dry place to limit corrosion and keep within a set or organizer to prevent loss.
