Say goodbye to the shop drawer full of mismatched, leftover hex keys you’ve collected over the years. You know the one — it’s a mess and it never seems to have the size you’re looking for. The Capri Tools Sliding T-Handle Set will make that drawer of loose keys a thing of the past.
This complete T-handle set comes with a foam mechanics tray that makes it easy to store and find the exact wrench you need when. you need it. Our sliding T-handle set includes 8 metric wrenches in the sizes most often needed in automotive and professional biking applications: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 mm.
What Makes Our T-Handle Set Stand Out?
- Our T-handle hex wrench set is built to satisfy the most demanding professionals and complete the toughest jobs. Our premium SatinKrome finish gives the T-handle wrenches an unparalleled look and feel while enhancing durability. They perform well in high-torque situations and give you the precision you need to avoid over-torquing fasteners.
- Each T-handle wrench has a premium Chrome Vanadium steel crossbar forged from a single piece of steel. A hex key on each end of the crossbar offers the versatility needed to access hard-to-reach fasteners.
- Three detent balls built into the sliding handle allow you to configure the hex wrench to best fit your needs. A detent ball in the center clicks the handle in place in the T position, and the two end detent balls secure the crossbar in the L position.
- Spring-loaded detent balls keep the handle exactly where you want it. There are no slippage concerns with our T-handle when you securely lock the wrench into a new position.
- The hex ends are precision machined for an exact fit. They have chamfered edges to slide smoothly into fasteners and prevent rounding.
- Our metric T-handle set comes with a mechanics tray to make storage and access easy. Our mechanics tray is lightweight and organized and fits into any standard tool chest.
The Right Tool for the Job
Hex head fasteners are common on:
- Automotive fitments
- Bike parts
- Furniture
- Electronics
- General construction materials
- Small engines found in go-karts and lawn equipment
These fasteners are popular due to their deep sockets, which are more difficult to strip than other fastener types. They’ve also become the fastener of choice for manufacturers that need to include tools with their products due to the low cost of producing hex keys.
These advantages have led hex head fasteners to be one of the most used fasteners behind cross- and single-slotted designs. But as hex head fasteners become more common, your collection of poor-quality wrenches left over from random tool kits and gifts you’ve assembled is likely to grow out of control.
Our T-handle set is always ready to go in its mechanics tray, providing you with a premium tool for any hex head fastener you need to reach. It’s the perfect tool for any job that requires torque and precision.
The Right Tool for Biking
Hex head fasteners are common on most parts attached to modern high-end road, mountain, and BMX bikes.
Hex bolts hold the handlebars to the stem, the stem to the forks, and the forks to the frame. Hex bolts are also used throughout the brake assembly and secure the pedals to the cranks. You’ll find them on any adjustable pieces of your bike, like the seat post clamp.
Many of these bolts are difficult to reach and need to be fully torqued to ensure that important pieces of your bike don’t come off during a ride. Others, like the top cap adjusting bolt that controls the play in your headset, need very little torque. Precision torquing is important on these bolts to get the best performance from your bike.
With so many hex bolts on high-end bikes today, sliding T-handle wrenches have become the tool of choice for many professional bike mechanics. Sliding T-handles allow bike mechanics to quickly access hard-to-reach hex bolts and adapt to apply as much torque as necessary. The versatility and stiff design of T-handle wrenches also give excellent feedback when precision torquing is needed.
When repair time is a priority, the T-handle acts as a balance to help spin bolts back into place faster. Their versatile design ensures that you aren’t constantly having to reach for a separate wrench.
Hex head fasteners are usually similar in size across bike brands. This means you likely only need one set of high-quality tools to complete bike repairs efficiently. Our sliding T-handles are the perfect tool set for bike mechanics of all levels.
The Right Tool for Motorsports
Hex bolts are used where a regular nut or bolt would be impractical in motorsport applications. They’re popular fasteners on cars, motorcycles, boats, and go-karts. Many hex bolts in automotive applications are hidden or set deep behind other parts where space is an issue. Sliding T-handle wrenches make reaching these fasteners easy and are long enough to apply the needed torque.
Sliding T-handle wrenches offer the same advantages as P-handle and fixed T-handle wrenches when removing or replacing fasteners quickly in a competition setting. Spinning the handle of the tool allows momentum to do most of the work, so only a final push is required to fully torque the fastener.
Sliding T-handles are as handy under the seats as they are under the hood in automotive applications. Many automotive manufacturers now use hex head fasteners to secure interior elements. During repairs under the seat, in the center console, and under the dash, you’re sure to come across hex bolts. Having a versatile tool like our sliding T-handle set will leave you prepared for anything.
