Proprietary Technology

Six product lines that make Eklind the professional's choice for hex keys and precision fastening tools — engineered and manufactured in the USA.

L-Keys
Maximum torque

The classic L-shaped hex key provides maximum torque on the short arm and extended reach on the long arm. Precision-manufactured from alloy steel with chamfered tips for easy socket entry.

T-Handle Keys
Ergonomic grip

Ergonomic T-handle hex keys deliver high torque with minimal effort. The cushion grip handle provides comfort during extended use, ideal for production and assembly work.

Ball-End Keys
25-degree access

Ball-Hex-L keys allow entry at angles up to 25 degrees off-axis, making it possible to reach fasteners in tight or obstructed spaces where straight access is impossible.

TORX Keys
Anti-cam-out

Eklind TORX (star-pattern) keys provide higher torque transfer with less cam-out risk than hex. Available in standard and tamper-resistant versions for security applications.

Fold-Up Sets
Pocket-ready

Compact fold-up sets keep multiple hex key sizes organized in a pocket-friendly handle. The handle doubles as a torque lever and the keys lock open at 90 and 180 degrees.

Tamper-Resistant Tips
Security fasteners

Security hex and TORX keys with center-pin or tamper-resistant tips for fasteners designed to prevent unauthorized access. Essential for public infrastructure and commercial equipment.

Used in: American-made machinery, appliances, furniture, automotive (older US vehicles), and general hardware. If it was made in the USA before the 1990s, it likely uses SAE fasteners.

Metric (mm) Sizes

Common sizes: 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm
Used in: Modern vehicles (most makes), European and Asian products, bicycles, electronics, and flat-pack furniture. When in doubt on new equipment, try metric first.
