    Grip screws to start and remove them in hard-to-reach places. The ball tip has a detent that holds screws securely to prevent them from falling off as you fasten. The tip also engages the drive at an angle to squeeze into tight spots.

    Long—The most common option, these L-keys have a balanced length for everyday reach and torque.

    Long—The most common option, these L-keys have a balanced length for everyday reach and torque.
