Unbrakonøgler

Unbrakonøgler, also known as Allen wrenches or hex keys, are L-shaped tools used to drive bolts and screws with a hexagonal socket in the head. They are typically made of hardened steel and come in a set of various sizes. The hexagonal shape of the socket and the corresponding tip of the unbrakonøgle allows for a tight fit, providing good torque transfer. This makes them ideal for applications where standard screwdrivers might slip or not provide sufficient leverage.

The design of the unbrakonøgle, with its long and short arms, offers versatility. The longer arm provides greater reach and leverage, useful for accessing screws in tight or recessed areas, or for applying more force. The shorter arm is convenient for quick adjustments or when working in confined spaces. Unbrakonøgler are commonly found in furniture assembly, bicycle maintenance, automotive repair, and various mechanical engineering tasks. They are an indispensable tool in many workshops and households due to their simplicity, effectiveness, and wide range of applications. Sets are often organized by metric or imperial sizes, ensuring compatibility with different types of fasteners.
