Allenkey 5.0MM Hex Short 80MM Length



+ Description
The Allen Key Ø5.0MM Hex, Short Type, 80MM Length is a precision-engineered hand tool designed to drive fasteners with a 5.0mm internal hex socket. Commonly referred to as a hex key or L-wrench, this short version offers compactness and torque efficiency, making it ideal for use in orthopedic surgery tools, mechanical assembly, and tight-space environments.
With a total length of 80mm, it balances maneuverability with leverage and is typically shaped in the classic L-configuration to provide both reach and torque as needed.
+ Indications
- Orthopedic & Surgical Applications
External Fixation Systems: Used to tighten or loosen Schanz screws, pin clamps, or connecting rods with 5mm hex sockets.
Orthopedic Instrument Assembly: Integral tool in surgical instrument sets for modular frame adjustment and secure fixation.
Quick Intraoperative Adjustments: Compact design allows use in tight surgical spaces or under drapes without obstruction. - Mechanical Assembly
Precision Equipment: Assembles or services medical devices, machinery, or fixtures requiring 5mm hex fasteners.
Jigs & Fixtures: Common in CNC, manufacturing lines, and tooling setups.
Automotive and Robotics: Adjusts hex bolts in engine bays, gearboxes, and robotic joints where clearance is limited. - Maintenance & Repair
Field Repairs: Ideal for toolkits due to its compact size and versatility.
General Service Work: Used in tasks involving hex socket fasteners, such as on medical beds, hospital furniture, or mobility aids. - DIY & Industrial Use
