Ideal Industries 35-147 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the IDEAL 35-147 hex key set turn the setscrews on large aluminum lugs and mechanical connectors?
It goes up to 3/8 inch, which is where most large-frame lug and splice setscrews land, and steps down through 5/16, 1/4, 7/32 and 3/16 inch for smaller connectors and terminal blocks. The keys are square-cut so they seat to full socket depth, which is what keeps you from rounding out a setscrew you have to torque hard. If your gear uses hex sockets above 3/8 inch, you need a larger key than this set carries.
2) Is the IDEAL 35-147 a folding hex key set or loose individual keys?
Folding. The keys pivot into a single 5-1/4 inch handle that closes up to go in a pouch or pocket, so you are not fishing loose L-keys out of the bottom of a tool bag on a service call. The handle also gives you more leverage than a bare L-key of the same size.
3) What are the IDEAL 35-147 hex keys made of, and will they hold up to daily use?
The keys are 8650 heat-treated steel, an alloy steel used for hand tools that need to resist twisting off under load. The handle uses a dual-durometer, slip-resistant grip, so it stays in your hand with gloves on or with oil on the tool.
4) What is the manufacturer part number for the IDEAL hex key set with the 5-1/4 inch folding handle?
IDEAL Industries 35-147. That single part number is the complete set, handle and keys together, so there is nothing else to add to the order to have a working tool.
5) Why does a square-cut hex key matter for electrical setscrews?
A square-cut tip, like the one on the IDEAL 35-147 keys, sits flat at the bottom of the socket and engages the full depth of the hex. A tapered or ball-end key only grips part of the flats, and on a setscrew you are torquing to spec that is where slipping and stripping starts. Full engagement is the difference between a connection that holds and a socket you have to drill out.
