L-shaped hex key set YATO YT-5835, Imperial sizes, 12 pcs, long arm min 7.4 cm, short arm min 1.4 cm

L-shaped hex key set YATO YT-5835 contains twelve imperial hex keys designed for tightening and loosening hex fasteners in applications that require inch sizes. The keys are formed in an L shape, providing a long arm for reach and leverage and a short arm for access in confined spaces. The long arm measures at least 7.4 cm, while the short arm measures at least 1.4 cm, offering a balance between torque capability and maneuverability. The set is intended for workshop, maintenance and assembly environments where imperial hex sizes are specified.

Advantages

The L-shaped design provides two working positions: the long arm for increased reach and torque and the short arm for access to tight locations. Having a complete range of twelve imperial sizes in one set reduces the need to search for individual keys and speeds up tasks that require multiple fastener sizes. Compact and stackable, the keys are easy to store and transport. The defined minimum arm lengths ensure consistent leverage and accessibility across the set.

Suitable for

• Mechanical repairs and component assembly using inch-threaded hex fasteners
• Maintenance tasks in workshops, garages and equipment rooms
• On-site service and fieldwork where compact hand tools are required
• Tasks requiring access to confined or recessed hex bolts

Key specifications

• Set composition: 12 imperial (inch) L-shaped hex keys
• Long arm minimum length: 7.4 cm
• Short arm minimum length: 1.4 cm
• Tool shape: L-shaped hex key (allen key)
• Intended use: tightening and loosening hex fasteners

How to use

Select the hex key that matches the flat-to-flat dimension of the hex fastener. Insert the short or long arm into the fastener head depending on required clearance and torque: use the long arm in the hand for higher torque and reach, or use the short arm inserted for access in tight spaces while turning with the long arm for leverage. Apply steady torque and avoid sudden impacts; ensure full engagement of the key in the fastener to reduce rounding. After use, return keys to their holder to maintain organization and prevent loss.

Usage recommendations

For repetitive assembly or higher torque requirements, position the long arm in the hand and use the short arm in the fastener to increase leverage. Inspect fasteners and keys for wear before applying force; replace keys that show deformation or burrs to avoid damage to fastener heads.
