Bondhus 16738 Stubby Balldriver Hex L-Wrench Set
The Bondhus 16738 (SBLX10B) is a professional-grade 10-piece stubby ball end hex key L-wrench set covering standard sizes from 1/16" to 1/4". Manufactured with proprietary Protanium industrial-quality steel and coated with a corrosion-resistant BriteGuard finish, this set provides exceptional torque transfer for demanding maintenance tasks. The stubby short arm is explicitly engineered to access tight enclosures and hard-to-reach hardware where standard hex keys lack clearance, eliminating the need to manually trim or file tools in the field.
Key Features
- Precision Ball End: The long arm features a machined ball end profile that permits fastener insertion and rapid rotation at an angle of up to 25°, ideal for blind entry in restricted structural areas.
- Optimized Short Arm: A chamfered short arm eliminates burrs and features a tighter inside radius for smooth, complete entry into the screw head, maximizing applied torque without stripping.
- Protanium Steel Construction: Delivers superior strength and leverage specifically required to break loose stubborn, rusted, or over-torqued screws.
- Comprehensive Sizing: Set includes 10 wrenches: 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 7/64", 1/8", 9/64", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", and 1/4".
- Molded Index Case: Securely packaged in a durable plastic organizing case with clearly marked sizes for rapid tool identification.

A: This 10-piece standard (imperial) set includes 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 7/64", 1/8", 9/64", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", and 1/4" hex keys.
Q: What is the maximum entry angle for the ball end on these wrenches?
A: The ball end on the long arm allows you to effectively engage and drive socket-head fasteners at an off-axis angle of up to 25 degrees.
Q: Why use a "stubby" hex wrench instead of a standard one?
A: The stubby short arm easily clears tight spaces where standard-length hex keys physically cannot fit, saving installation time and removing the need to cut down tools for specialized clearance requirements.
