SATA GL80105A Extra Long Ball Point Hex Key 2mm

Key specs include: an extended length for improved reach (up to 30% longer than standard keys), a 2mm hex size, a ball-point tip for angled entry, chrome vanadium (Cr-V) steel construction for strength, a rust-resistant coating, chamfered tips for fast insertion, and an ergonomic handle designed to reduce fatigue and increase torque in extended use.

The ball point tip allows entry at an angle, enabling you to engage fasteners that are not perfectly aligned with the tool axis. This is especially useful in confined or awkward spaces where a straight hex key won’t fit.

It's well-suited for machinery, electronics, automotive work, and any project requiring a 2mm hex fastener in tight or hard-to-reach areas. The extended length also helps when you need extra leverage.

Insert the 2mm end squarely into the fastener, use the extended handle for leverage, and apply steady, gradual torque. Let the chamfered tip help with smooth insertion, and avoid sudden or excessive twisting to prevent cam-out or stripping.

Wipe clean after use and keep it dry to minimize rust. Store in a dry toolkit or case. The rust-resistant coating and Cr-V alloy are designed for durability, but routine cleaning helps preserve its fit and performance.

Yes, its compact 2mm size is suitable for certain electronics assemblies, but use with care. Avoid applying excessive torque near delicate components and always power down devices before working on them.

The main differences are reach and access: the extra-long length provides more leverage and can reach fasteners in deep or obstructed areas, while the ball-end tip enables angled insertion. Torque is improved with the longer handle, but you may sacrifice some compactness compared to standard keys.

This is a single-piece hex key, so the tip isn’t replaceable. If the tool is damaged or worn, the recommended approach is to replace the entire key with a new one.

Store it in a dry, organized toolbox or tray to protect the tip from damage and to prevent moisture exposure. Keeping it clean and dry helps preserve the rust-resistant coating and overall performance.
