L-shaped hex key set Wera 05022101001, metric, 7 pcs, compact pocket-sized set

Wera 05022101001 is a compact, pocket-sized L-shaped hex key set in metric sizes, containing seven tools for working with hexagonal socket screws. The set is manufactured in the Czech Republic and presented in a practical clip fastener with an integrated magnetiser that allows screws to be held on the key during use. Each L-key features a Hex-Plus profile for larger contact surfaces inside the screw head and a ball-end on the long arm for angled engagement in restricted spaces. The keys are chrome-plated for corrosion protection and marked with laser-engraved size markings for durable identification. The set’s compact format and clip design make it suitable for portable tool kits and everyday maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The Hex-Plus profile reduces notching and the risk of damaging screw recesses by increasing the contact area between key and screw. The ball-end on the long arm supports working at angles when direct access is limited. Chrome plating provides corrosion resistance, while laser-engraved size markings remain readable under heavy use. The clip fastener with built-in magnetiser secures the keys and enables magnetic retention of screws for easier handling during assembly or repair.

Suitable for

• General workshop tightening and loosening of metric hex screws and bolts
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring portable tools
• Assembly work where angled access is needed
• Portable tool kits for technicians, hobbyists, and field service

How to use

Select the appropriate metric L-key for the screw head, insert the short or long arm into the hex socket as required, and apply turning force. Use the ball-end on the long arm when work requires an angled approach; the ball geometry allows engagement at an angle while maintaining contact within the screw head. The magnetiser on the clip can be used to hold small screws on the key to reduce the risk of dropping them during installation. After use, return the keys to the clip fastener to keep them organised and protected.

Usage recommendations

Use the Hex-Plus keys to minimize rounding of screw heads and choose the ball-end for situations where straight access is obstructed. Avoid excessive torque beyond the screw or fastener specifications to prevent damage. Store the keys in the clip fastener to maintain order and protect the laser-engraved markings and chrome finish.
