Description
The Procat hex and Torx key set is a 16-piece multi-tool set designed to meet the varied needs of industry, maintenance and installation work. The set combines the two most common internal drive types, metric hex sockets and Torx heads, in one compact kit. This reduces the need to carry several separate key sets and ensures that the most common sizes are always within easy reach in one pack.
The keys have the traditional L shape (angle key), which gives the user two ways of working. The longer arm of the key lets you reach screws that sit deep and in confined places, while using the shorter arm gives more torque for loosening or tightening stubborn fasteners. The tool ends are precision-machined to guarantee a good fit.
A key feature of the set is its handy storage holder. All 16 keys sit in a durable folding plastic holder with its own marked place for each key. The keys fold out of the holder for use. This design keeps the tools in order and prevents them from getting lost, and it also makes finding the right size quick and easy in a busy working environment. The wide size range of the set, hex from 2 mm to 10 mm and Torx from T10 to T50, covers most ordinary fastening needs on machines and equipment.
Intended use:
This combination set is the ideal solution for anyone who meets varying fastener types in their work.
- Machine and equipment installation: Modern machines and equipment often use a mix of hex socket and Torx screws in different components. This set allows efficient work without constantly rummaging in the toolbox, as the installer has both drive types immediately to hand. The L shape also helps reach awkward spots inside machines.
- Service and maintenance work: In mobile service work, the space taken up by tools and their weight are critical factors. The compact design of the Procat set, with 16 tools in one light holder, makes it an excellent addition to the standard equipment of a service vehicle or an installer’s tool bag. It is suitable for basic servicing of vehicles, building services and production equipment alike.

Procat hex and Torx key set instructions for use:
Choose the key size that fits the screw you are tightening or loosening. It is important to make sure the key fits tightly and fully into the screw head before you start turning. A key of the wrong size or one that is poorly seated can round off the screw head or damage the tool. Use the longer end of the key when you need reach for deep spots or want to spin a loose screw quickly. Use the shorter end when you need more torque for final tightening or initial loosening. After use, fold the key back into its place in the holder. Clean dirt and oil off the keys regularly.
Warnings:
Never use an extension (such as a pipe) with L-keys to increase torque. This overloads the tool and can cause the key to break or bend, creating a risk of injury. Do not use a damaged or worn key. These tools are not insulated, so do not use them near live parts because of the risk of electric shock.
