To assist you in making your choice, ManoMano helps you find the product you need among Allen keys available in sets or individually, made of chrome vanadium steel with a chrome, galvanized, or phosphated finish; with or without a holder. And in addition to the choice, we offer you quality and affordable 6-sided keys from brands like WIHA, KSTOOLS, or STANLEY.
Why is an Allen key an essential tool to have in your toolbox?
Firstly, because Allen keys are used to screw or unscrew 6-sided screws that are very common in most flat-pack furniture. ManoMano recommends that you have several sizes of Allen keys even if you are an occasional DIY enthusiast, to always have the key you need at your disposal. If you buy a set of keys, it is better to opt for a set where the key sizes range from 4 to at least 10 to have a wide variety of sizes at your disposal.
As for the shape of the key head, you will choose a angled head - like the majority of 6-sided keys - to access the narrowest and most difficult-to-reach places more easily. A spherical key head is useful for obtaining more screwing or unscrewing possibilities: it allows more or less inclination of the key in the 6-sided screw.
Regarding the practical aspect of the key, if you want more comfort in your screwing, choose a key with an ergonomic and pleasant-to-handle bi-material handle.
Now, stop putting off the moment to assemble your brand new flat-pack desk! Now that you have the necessary information to choose your Allen keys, it's time to get to work with the right tools!
