Few tools are used as frequently, and can cause as much heartache or wasted time as the seemingly simple hex key. It's one of the first things you notice at the top levels of motorsport tools, or in the toolboxes of Pro-Tour mechanics: extremely high quality hex keys. The reasoning is simple, better tool fit leads to better feel and confidence for the mechanic as well as a significant reduction in the likelihood of damaging exotic fasteners made from Titanium or Aluminum.
The HX-1 is made of S-2 Tool Steel, a shock resistant steel which has been refined by Swiss and German toolmakers for the optimal balance of strength, hardness, shock resistance and dimensional control. S-2 yields strong tools with a hard surface for prolonged tool AND fastener life. The keys are coated with thin-dense chrome. This coating provides a hard, dimensionally stable finish on each hex key. Finally, each tool is spray coated with a high-grip, high-visibility textured polymer finish for maximum grip and control. No more dropping your tools with greasy fingers or losing them on your workbench!
Included with the HX-1 Kit is the proprietary SILCA 17-4 Stainless Magnetic Adapter. The Adapter with a pleasant magnetic click turns the 6mm Hex Key into a Œ" socket drive which can fit any common Œ" driver Bit. Included in the kit are 8 hex keys(2-10 mm), the 6 most common Torx sizes, 2 Phillips head and 2 flat head drivers.
Each HX-1 kit is lovingly packed into a fully CNC machined box made from sustainable beech wood. Each box is hand sanded and finished before receiving the stainless steel SILCA Shield on the lid.
