6 mm Hex Key for Metric Fasteners
This Wiha Tools L‑shape hex key fits 6 mm metric fasteners and is built from corrosion‑resistant chrome‑finished HAWA material. The insulated, non‑magnetic construction makes it safe for use around electrical components and sensitive equipment. It is a single‑tip hand tool designed for professional technicians and serious DIY users who need reliable metric hex access.
Replaces Worn or Missing 6 mm Keys
The 13656 model upgrades a damaged, rounded or lost 6 mm hex key with a precise short arm of 1.375 mm and a long arm of 5 1/2 in for reach and leverage. The jump is worth it when the old key no longer engages cleanly, when insulation is required for live‑adjacent work, or when a non‑magnetic tip prevents interference with sensors or magnetic assemblies.
Simple Hand Installation with Fit Checks
Insert the short arm into the fastener head and apply torque through the long arm; no tools or setup are required. The most common issue is using the key on a worn or oversized fastener, which can round the tip or strip the bolt. Verify the 6 mm size matches the fastener before applying force to avoid damage.

Questions about this item
What clearance does the 1.375 mm short arm need to engage a 6 mm hex fastener?
The short arm measures 1.375 mm, so it requires only a few millimetres of space around the bolt head to turn the fastener.
How do you seat the hex tip fully before applying torque?
Push the 6 mm tip straight into the socket until it bottoms out, then turn; the common mistake is starting at an angle and rounding the corners.
When should the key be replaced if the chrome finish shows wear?
Replace it once the 6 mm tip edges deform or the chrome flakes off, because worn faces slip and damage the fastener.
