Hex key Proline 48469 — single 10 mm metric Allen wrench

Proline 48469 — single 10 mm metric Allen wrench is a compact hand tool designed for manual tightening and loosening of hex socket fasteners with a 10 mm internal hex. Made as a single-piece hex key, it is intended for use in assembly, maintenance and repair tasks on furniture, machinery and equipment that accept a 10 mm hex driver. The tool provides a simple, reliable interface between the operator and fasteners where controlled manual torque is required.

Advantages

The hex key is quenched and tempered to improve strength and wear resistance, and finished with polished chromium to resist corrosion and provide a smoother surface for handling. Its single-piece construction reduces the risk of joint failure and ensures consistent alignment of the tip and shaft. The 10 mm tip offers compatibility with standard metric hex fasteners and a straightforward geometry for insertion into confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Assembly and disassembly of furniture with 10 mm internal hex screws
• Maintenance tasks on machinery and equipment using metric hex fasteners
• Repair work where a compact, manual hex driver is needed
• On-site adjustments and tightening in confined or hard-to-reach areas

Key specifications

• Type: single-piece metric hex key (Allen wrench)
• Tip size: 10 mm internal hex
• Material treatment: quenched and tempered for increased hardness
• Finish: polished chromium for corrosion resistance and smooth surface
• Drive: manual hand tool for applying controlled torque

How to use

Select the 10 mm hex key and align the tip with the internal hex socket of the fastener. Insert the key fully to ensure proper contact between the flats of the key and the socket, then apply steady manual torque in the required direction to tighten or loosen the fastener. For best results, maintain a straight insertion angle and avoid using excessive force that could damage the fastener head or tool.

Usage recommendations

Use the hex key for manual applications only; do not use with power tools or as a pry bar. Store in a dry place to preserve the polished chromium finish and periodically inspect the tip for wear or rounding before use.
