L-shaped hex key YATO YT-05594 Metric 1 pc — long arm 20 cm, short arm 2.2 cm

The YATO YT-05594 L-shaped hex key is a single-piece metric tool designed for working with hex fasteners. With a long arm of 20 cm and a short arm of 2.2 cm, this hex key balances reach and leverage to access recessed or hard-to-reach metric bolts and screws. The rigid L-shape provides a consistent contact angle for torque transfer during tightening and loosening operations.

Advantages

The long-arm length increases reach into deep or narrow spaces while the short arm offers control for high-torque applications. Constructed as a single solid piece, the tool resists bending under normal working loads and provides stable engagement with hex sockets. Its metric sizing ensures compatibility with metric fasteners used in machinery, furniture assembly, automotive repairs and equipment maintenance.

Suitable for

• Assembly of furniture and fixtures with metric hex fasteners
• Maintenance and repair of bicycles, automotive components and machinery
• Accessing recessed or hard-to-reach metric bolts and screws
• Tasks requiring added leverage or extended reach

Key specifications

• Type: L-shaped (90°) hex key
• Measurement system: Metric
• Long arm length: 20 cm
• Short arm length: 2.2 cm
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Select the hex key size that matches the hex socket of the fastener. Insert the short or long arm into the fastener depending on the access and torque required: use the long arm for extended reach and the short arm for greater turning force. Ensure the hex key fully seats in the fastener to reduce rounding. Apply steady force and avoid sudden impacts. When loosening tight or rusted fasteners, apply controlled, gradual torque and consider using penetrating lubricant if necessary.

Usage recommendations

For safe and durable use, store the hex key in a dry place to prevent corrosion and avoid using the tool as a pry bar or chisel. Use the appropriate arm orientation to match the required torque and reach, and inspect the tool regularly for wear to maintain proper fit and reduce fastener damage.
