Thandle Ball Head Hex Key — 6 mm, 45# Steel, Polished Chrome What this tool does and why you need it Gives improved access and control for 6 mm hex head bolts in tight or awkward positions. Ballhead geometry allows angled entry so you can reach fasteners that are not aligned. Tshape handle provides comfortable grip and greater turning leverage for faster, more precise tightening and loosening. Polished chrome finish resists corrosion and provides a smooth surface that is easy to clean. Key features and specifications Main material: 45# steel — robust construction for strength and long service life. Head size: 6 mm — fits standard 6 mm hex socket fasteners. Head type: Ball head hexagon — permits offaxis engagement up to a small angle for improved access. Handle style: Tshape — ergonomic grip for increased torque and control. Surface treatment: Polished chrome — corrosion resistance and lowfriction surface. How this tool solves common problems Reaches recessed or obstructed hex bolts without forcing awkward wrist angles, reducing strain and speeding up work. The ball head lets you start or finish bolts from an angle when straighton access is blocked. Thandle grip increases torque capacity and reduces slippage compared with a straight hex key, helping prevent rounded bolt heads. Compatibility and performance Designed specifically for 6 mm hex head bolts; suitable for a wide range of metric fasteners of that size. Durable 45# steel construction withstands regular workshop and field use. Polished chrome surface improves longevity by reducing corrosion and simplifying cleanup after use. Practical applications (use scenarios) Automotive : Reach 6 mm hex bolts on brake calipers, engine components, or interior panels where space is limited. Machine maintenance: Access fasteners on industrial equipment and machines that are recessed or blocked by surrounding parts. Equipment assembly and service: Useful for bicycles, small machinery, and field service tasks where angled access and extra leverage speed the job. Care and handling Keep clean and dry; wipe off grease or moisture after use to preserve the polished chrome finish. Inspect the hex head for wear before use; if the hex profile is rounded to avoid damaging fasteners. Includes One 6 mm ball head hex key with Thandle, made of 45# steel with polished chrome finish.
