Milwaukee 48-22-2185 13-Piece SAE Ball End L-Style Hex Key Set

Keep SAE hex fasteners covered with the Milwaukee 48-22-2185 13-Piece Ball End L-Style Hex Key Set. Sizes from 0.050 to 3/8 in give utility crews, arborists and maintenance technicians a compact selection for equipment adjustments and repairs.

Open the pivoting holder, identify the size using the high-contrast markings and pull out the offset key you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an SAE or metric set?

This set contains 13 SAE inch sizes, from 0.050 to 3/8 in. Match the key to the fastener's specified size; a near-fitting metric key can damage an SAE hex recess.

When should I use the ball end?

Use it when surrounding equipment prevents straight-on access. For breaking loose tight fasteners or final tightening, use the straight hex end fully seated wherever possible and follow the equipment manufacturer's torque requirements.

Is it useful for arborist and utility equipment maintenance?

Yes, when the equipment uses SAE internal-hex fasteners within the included size range. Confirm fastener size before use, clean debris from the recess and isolate the equipment according to its service instructions before making adjustments.

Are these keys electrically insulated?

No electrical insulation rating is specified for this set. Do not rely on the black oxide finish for electrical protection. Follow your crew's electrical safety procedures and use appropriately rated insulated tools where required.
