If your team is soooo organized :-) that you can find hex keys by size (and not by wrapping coloured tape around the most often used ones), the keys go up in step with the size of the screw / bolt.

If you're that organized, you probably use a certain few fastener zizes: learn what key sizes go in two screw sizes figure the difference per screw size, and you'll have the lot: figure an adjustment from say the series for capscrews, to find say the series for set screws. (Unfortunately, the size changes with the type of screw - the 4-40 capscrews I was using used a key that in my index was three sizes LARGER than the 6-32 headless set screw.)


: Hi,

: My team is looking for the corresponding sizes for hex keys and their bolts. Can anyone tell me where to look?

: Also, where can I find tool charts online?

: Thanks!
