Wiha 369R L-shaped hex key

The Wiha 369R L-shaped hex key is a single-piece metric tool designed for inserting and removing hex screws, especially in hard-to-reach areas. The blade is made of chrome-vanadium steel, through-hardened and chrome-plated for wear resistance. The tool conforms to ISO 2936L and features a ball end that allows operation at angles up to 25°. From size 3 mm the MagicRing® of spring steel secures hex standard screws independently of screw material and in any position.

Advantages

Constructed from chrome-vanadium steel and through-hardened for durability, the Wiha 369R offers corrosion resistance due to chrome plating. The ball end provides angled access up to 25°, while the MagicRing® retains screws securely in the socket for single-handed operation and improved handling in confined spaces. The L-shaped design supplies leverage from the long arm and precise control from the short arm.

How to use

Insert the short or long arm into the hex socket of the screw depending on required reach and leverage. For angled entry, use the ball end to engage the screw up to 25° off-axis. When using sizes from 3 mm, rely on the MagicRing® to hold the screw in the key while positioning or driving the fastener. Apply steady torque and avoid sudden impacts to protect the tool and screw.

Recommendations

Use the appropriate hex key size for the screw to prevent rounding. Keep the tool clean and free of debris; periodically check the chrome plating and blade for wear. Do not use the L-shaped key as a hammer or pry bar and avoid excessive torque beyond the fastener’s rating.
