Features & Benefits

• The Hex-Plus profile offers a larger contact surface within the screw head, reducing the notching effects to a minimum and almost completely eliminating the risk of damaging the screw recess.

• Each key has their size laser-engraved for easy identification when rapid tool access is required. Take-it-Easy L-keys are also colour coded according to their size.


• Wear-resistant size markings to make it easy to identify tools.


• The robust belt pouch ensures that the L-keys are held securely but are easy to remove when required.
