Please refer to the table below for  the hexagon key sizes for metric cap screws, countersunk socket screws and grub screws. Please scroll down the page if you wish to purchase a correct size key, or a hexagon ball-end driver (screw driver with ground ball/hexagon end allowing fast off centre driving). Metric and inch sizes are listed

Below is also listed our telescopic magnetic probes - ideal for retrieving fasteners from hard to get places

It is essential to use the correct key size for driving cap screws and grub screws etc. In particular, when tightening the smaller sizes of grub screws, using an incorrect key (which may appear to be the correct size before higher torques are applied ) can lead to rounding off of the hexagon socket making removal or further tightening extremely difficult if not impossible.  

This information is supplied in good faith and is correct to the best of our knowledge.

Inch size keys for our BA and UNC socket cap screws range are also available below.
