Klein Tools BLS9 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What hex sizes come in the Klein BLS9 9-piece set?
The Klein BLS9 covers nine SAE (inch) sizes: 7/64, 1/8, 9/64, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 inch. It's an inch-only set, so if you're working on metric fasteners this one won't help you.
2) Will ball-end hex keys reach a set screw I can't get square onto?
That's exactly what they're for. The ball ends on the BLS9 let you drive at angles up to 25 degrees off axis, so you can get into a hex socket you can't line up straight with, like a set screw behind an obstruction in a panel. For full torque on a stubborn fastener, use the straight end of the key instead of the ball.
3) How long are the arms on these Klein extra-long hex keys?
Key lengths run from 4.5 inches on the smallest up to 8.78 inches on the largest, about 30 percent longer than standard L-keys. The extra length buys you reach down into enclosures and more leverage on the big 5/16 and 3/8 sizes.
4) Does this hex key set come with a case, and how big is it to carry in a tool pouch?
It ships in a folding orange caddy that holds all nine keys. Closed, the caddy measures 9.28 x 3.85 x 1.24 inches and the whole set weighs 1.48 lbs, so it drops into a pouch or bag without much bulk. The caddy also interlocks with other Klein hex key caddies if you carry an inch and a metric set together.
5) Is a 9-piece SAE ball-end set enough for electrical panel and MRO work, or do I need metric too?
For panelboard lugs, enclosure hardware, and most North American equipment set screws, the 7/64 through 3/8 inch range here covers it, and the ball ends plus long arms are aimed at reaching fasteners inside enclosures. Imported HVAC, drives, and machinery often use metric hex, so plan on a separate metric caddy alongside it if you service that equipment.
6) How do the color-coded sleeves work on the Klein BLS9, and do they get in the way?
Each key carries a colored plastic sleeve on the round shaft so you can grab the right size by color instead of squinting at a stamp. The sleeve sits on the shaft, not the working end, so it doesn't interfere in a socket, and it makes the key easier on the hand when you're turning a lot of fasteners.
7) Will these hex keys rust in a service truck or a damp mechanical room?
The keys are heat-treated steel with a black phosphate finish, which is a rust-resistant coating rather than bare tool steel. It handles normal truck and mechanical-room exposure fine; wipe them down after wet work and the phosphate stays intact.
8) What is the Klein part number for the 9-piece extra-long SAE ball-end hex key caddy set?
Order it as Klein Tools BLS9. That's the SAE ball-end extra-long L-style caddy set with nine keys in the orange folding caddy.
