Hex key Proline 48500 — single L-shaped Allen wrench, 1 piece

Proline 48500 is a single L-shaped hex key (Allen wrench) supplied as one piece. Made from quenched and tempered steel with a polished chromium finish, this tool is designed for driving and loosening hex socket screws of a single size. Its compact L-profile provides leverage and access in confined spaces, making it suitable for workshop, home and on-site maintenance, assembly and repair tasks where a single-size hex key is required.

Advantages

The quenched and tempered steel construction offers increased hardness and wear resistance, while the polished chromium finish protects against corrosion and facilitates cleaning. The L-shaped design provides both torque and reach: the long arm serves for reach and leverage, the short arm for higher torque in tight spaces. Supplied as a single-piece tool, it is simple to carry and store and eliminates the need for a multi-key set when only one size is required.

Suitable for

• General maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment
• Assembly and disassembly of furniture and fixtures with hex socket screws
• Workshop and garage tasks requiring a single-size hex key
• On-site service jobs where a compact, durable tool is needed

Key specifications

• Tool type: L-shaped hex key (Allen wrench), single piece
• Material: quenched and tempered steel
• Finish: polished chromium
• Design: L-profile for leverage and access in confined spaces
• Intended use: driving and loosening hex socket screws of a single size

How to use

Select the Proline hex key that matches the internal hex size of the screw head. Insert the short or long arm into the screw socket depending on required torque and reach: use the long arm for access or slower turning and the short arm for greater torque. Apply steady pressure and turn in the appropriate direction to tighten or loosen the screw. Inspect both tool and screw before use to ensure proper fit and avoid rounding the screw head.

Usage recommendations

Store the hex key in a dry place to preserve the polished chromium finish and prevent corrosion. Avoid using the tool as a pry bar or striking it with a hammer, and do not apply excessive torque beyond the tool’s fit to prevent damage to the tool or screw head.
