Bicyclists & motor bike riders love the compact design of folding hex keys. And unlike similar options, it’s nearly impossible to lose a folding hex wrench since they’re contained in the handle.

T-Handle wrenches are built to give the user additional reach and more leverage. Thus, auto mechanics & machinists often prefer t-handle wrenches over the other hex wrenches.

This one is pretty self-explanatory at this point in the article. On most hex keys, the vertical length is always longer than the horizontal length. And the long-arm and short-arm modifiers tell us the extent for that difference in length. For long arm hex keys, they are typically at least twice as long in the vertical direction than they are in the horizontal direction. Conversely, short arm hex keys are generally about 50% longer on the vertical side than on the horizontal side.

So what is an Allen wrench you may ask? Alright, we’ll finally tell you. It’s the L-shaped tool that takes the form of a hexagonal key. Allen wrenches are used to fasten hex screws into wood, metal, and even plastic. And as you may have guessed, it’s the tool displayed in the picture above. The name Allen comes from it’s origins as a registered trademark of the former Allen Manufacturing Company from Hartford, CT. As of right now, it’s currently owned by Apex Tool Group (ATG). It’s our understanding that ATG would prefer that the standard name, “hex key“, pick up momentum (which is certainly understandable). However, it appears that Americans have decided that they prefer the name, “Allen wrench”.

These services are delivered through an interdisciplinary allied health and nursing team who support scheduled primary care services onsite and within the Edmonds PCN, providing coordination and continuity of care for patients. The interdisciplinary team spends much of their time at the Health and Wellness Services site and see patients in the consult rooms, physio/flex Room and/or the large group therapy. The interdisciplinary team occasionally supports patients of family doctors and nurse practitioners in their clinic practices and out in the community.

Most hex keys and bits feature the traditional flat ends as they are suitable for most uses. The flat end allows for the key to fit closely inside the screw head or nut. Thus, you should always use one of these when applying a lot of force to the wrench. On the other hand, ball-end hex keys are designed for when the user needs to fasten a nut at an angle. Most ball-end hex keys work within 25 degrees of the point of entry, which makes them ideal for tight spaces. You can certainly use a ball-end hex key for everyday use. However, they are more prone to breaking and are generally a bit more expensive to replace.
