Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size hex fasteners does the TL ALLEN 1/4 fit?
A: The TL ALLEN 1/4 is designed for 1/4-inch (6.35mm) hex socket cap screws and set screws. This smaller size is commonly used for adjustment screws, brake components, control linkages, and cable adjusters on material handling equipment.
Q: How does the TL ALLEN 1/4 compare to the TL ALLEN 1/2 in terms of application?
A: The TL ALLEN 1/4 is a smaller tool for fine adjustment and fastening work on delicate assemblies, while the TL ALLEN 1/2 is for heavier fasteners requiring more torque. Choose the size that matches your fastener, as using the wrong size risks stripping and damaging the bolt.
Q: What material is the TL ALLEN 1/4 constructed from?
A: The TL ALLEN 1/4 is manufactured from hardened chrome-plated steel, providing corrosion resistance and durability for precision adjustment and maintenance of pallet jacks and other industrial equipment.
Q: Why might the TL ALLEN 1/4 break or bend during use?
A: The TL ALLEN 1/4 is a smaller tool with less leverage capacity than larger sizes. Applying excessive force, using it on fasteners that are stuck or corroded, or using it as a pry bar can bend or break the tool. Use only for fasteners it is sized for.
Q: Is the TL ALLEN 1/4 compatible with equipment from multiple manufacturers?
A: Yes, the TL ALLEN 1/4 fits any equipment using 1/4-inch hex socket fasteners, including hand pallet jacks, electric pallet jacks, and machinery from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other industrial equipment manufacturers.
