Holding ring hex keys

Count On Tools Inc. has released PB Swiss Tools’ Holding Ring Hex Keys. The hex keys allow fasteners to be inserted or removed in hard-to-reach locations without the fastener falling off the tool and without sacrificing strength. PB Swiss Tools’ hex key L-wrenches for hexagonal socket screws (mm) now are equipped with a holding ring on the ball end. The inlaid circlip spring ring holds screws firmly onto the tool, which facilitates work on difficult-to-reach areas. Because the holding ring is inlaid, wearing out the functionality of the feature over time no longer is a concern. Also, this allows movement up to 30 degrees when tightening and loosening the screw. Advantages include holds screws securely on tool, allows insertion or extraction without dropping the fastener, allows insertion or extraction in difficult-to-reach places, turns a full 360 degrees at up to a 30-degree angle, engages to full depth of screw head, and is available in small sizes (down to 2.5 mm).
