SKU CH-JPG3-878TV

  • TypeHex/Torx Keys
  • Precise fit from exact dimensional tolerances
  • High strength and rotational distortion resistance from heat-treated alloy steel
  • 25-degree working angle enables access in tight spaces
  • Black oxide finish protects against corrosion
  • Pack of 10 provides multiple keys for workshop use

Single 1/4" Ball-End Hex Key

This Westward L-shape ball-end hex key has a 1/4 inch SAE tip size and a 25 degree working angle. Heat-treated alloy steel with a black oxide finish provides strength and resistance to rotational distortion. The plain steel handle is grey and uninsulated. Supplied as a pack of ten pieces.

Verify Tip Size and Access Needs

Confirm that the 1/4 inch hex size matches the fasteners you intend to turn. The ball end allows angled access up to 25 degrees, but straight engagement is still required for full torque. The key is uninsulated and nonsparking is not rated, so it is unsuitable for live electrical work or hazardous atmospheres. Tethering requires a separate accessory.

Manual Tool with No Power Draw

As a hand tool, this hex key draws no power and produces no operational noise or heat. The black oxide coating offers basic corrosion resistance during normal use. Alloy steel construction resists distortion under hand-applied loads. No thermal or acoustic management is required.

Questions about this item

Does the pack contain ten 1/4" ball-end hex keys or must I buy them individually?

The package quantity is 10, so you receive ten 1/4" ball-end L-shaped keys in one pack.

Why choose the 1/4" SAE tip over other sizes in the Westward range?

The 1/4" tip matches 1/4" SAE fasteners; other tip sizes are separate products not covered here.

What does the 25-degree working angle mean when I use the key in a tight spot?

The ball end lets you turn a 1/4" fastener at up to 25 degrees off-axis, giving clearance where a straight key cannot reach.
