How to use

Insert the short or long arm of the 2.5 mm hex key into the hex socket of the fastener. Use the short arm as the handle and the long arm as the driver when greater torque is needed. Reverse the orientation to reach recessed fasteners by holding the long arm and turning with the short arm. Apply steady manual force; avoid using additional levers or impact tools to prevent bending. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a toolbox or holder to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the short arm for initial high-torque turns and the long arm for accessing recessed or obstructed screws. Inspect the hex key and fastener for wear before applying force, and replace the tool if the tip becomes rounded to ensure proper engagement and prevent damage to fasteners.
