    Easy-Align Ball-Tip L-Keys

    Turn screws at an angle when you can’t access them head on. These L-keys have a ball tip on the long leg that engages the drive with less contact than a straight tip. Ball tips are handy for corners and tightly packed areas, such as control panels and junction boxes. However, they don’t grip as tightly as straight tips and may strip the drive of the fastener if you crank them too hard. These L-keys are precision manufactured to tight tolerances.
    Stainless Steel—These L-keys resist corrosion from salt water and other chemicals. Use them with stainless steel screws to avoid contaminating the drive—unlike steel tools, they won’t shed flakes that can rust.
    Long—The most common option, these L-keys have a balanced length for everyday reach and torque.
    Extra Long—Reach deep fasteners with the extra-long leg on these L-keys. Flip them around and grip the long leg with two hands for extra leverage to loosen stubborn screws.
