It’s not unusual for slender hex keys to be left behind, get lost or disappear in the darkness behind a machine. That’s why the keys in this nine-piece set are painted in bright, easily identifiable colours that fluoresce when illuminated with a UV light source. Equipped with a ball end on one side, the keys can be positioned at an angle of up to 25 degrees. The holder keeps the set together in compact form and is equipped with a clamping mechanism to prevent individual keys from falling out. If one key is twisted, the entire set fans out in the holder for better access.

Jury
You could be forgiven for thinking that there’s nothing left to optimise when it comes to such a well-established tool as the hexagonal L-key. This set proves the opposite: it improves everyday usability and minimises losses thanks to the UV-reactive coating.
