Samir on the thread. Measure the fastener head width and check the listing for SAE or metric drive size. Match the hex key set to the specific torque and thread requirements of your job.
In the bay, a hex key set is only as good as the fit on the fastener. If the drive size or thread type does not match the job, the tool will slip and damage the head.
On the Amazon page, look for the drive size and thread type printed in the title or description. Match the SAE or metric specification to the fastener you are working on.

Thread, torque, and mystery kits
What do I measure to check the fit?
Measure the width of the fastener head and compare it to the drive size listed in the hex key set description.
Which model does this hex key set match?
Match the hex key set to the specific SAE or metric drive size required by your fastener, as printed in the listing.
What if the fit is wrong?
Do not force the hex key set; select a different drive size that matches the fastener head width to prevent damage.
