TL ALLEN 1/2

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size hex fasteners does the TL ALLEN 1/2 fit?
A: The TL ALLEN 1/2 is sized for 1/2-inch (12.7mm) hex socket cap screws and set screws. This size is common on industrial equipment, machinery guards, brake assemblies, and control mechanisms in material handling equipment.

Q: Is the TL ALLEN 1/2 a metric or inch-size tool?
A: The TL ALLEN 1/2 is an inch-size tool designed for 1/2-inch hex fasteners. If your equipment uses metric socket cap screws, you will need a metric-sized Allen wrench instead.

Q: What material is the TL ALLEN 1/2 made from?
A: The TL ALLEN 1/2 is manufactured from hardened chrome-plated steel, which resists corrosion and wear during repeated use on industrial equipment and in outdoor material handling applications.

Q: How do I prevent the TL ALLEN 1/2 from stripping hex fasteners?
A: Insert the Allen wrench fully into the hex socket before applying torque. A poor fit or shallow insertion can cause the tool to slip and strip the fastener corners. Use steady, controlled pressure rather than sudden force.

Q: Will the TL ALLEN 1/2 work on all industrial equipment?
A: The TL ALLEN 1/2 works on any equipment using 1/2-inch hex socket fasteners, including electric pallet jacks, hand trucks, and machinery from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other manufacturers that use inch-sized fasteners.
