This TRUSCO ball point hex key (or Allen key) is a professional-grade tool for when you need serious torque. The key size is 0.7 inches, which is 19 millimeters - a larger size often used in machinery, bicycles, or heavy furniture. What makes it special is the 'ball point' on the short arm. This ball end allows you to insert the key at an angle (up to about 30 degrees), giving you way more flexibility to turn screws in tight, awkward spaces where a straight-in approach won't work.
It's forged from Chrome Vanadium steel (Cr-V), a high-quality alloy known for its strength and resistance to bending or rounding off. The surface has a black dye treatment, and the hardness is rated HRC 52-56, meaning it's very hard and durable.
Here are the exact dimensions: The opposite (short) side is 0.75 inches (19mm) long. The 'neck' or long arm is 2.8 inches (70mm). The total length is a substantial 11.0 inches (280mm), giving you great leverage. It weighs 31.7 oz (877 g) - this is a solid, hefty tool built for tough jobs. A must-have for mechanics, bike shops, or serious DIYers.
