Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size is the TL ALLEN 3MM wrench?
A: The TL ALLEN 3MM is a 3-millimeter hex key (metric measurement). This size fits fasteners marked M3 or equivalent 3mm bolts. Do not confuse this with 3/16-inch, which is slightly larger at approximately 4.76mm.
Q: What is the difference between 3MM and 3/16-inch Allen wrenches?
A: The 3MM hex key measures exactly 3 millimeters, while 3/16-inch measures approximately 4.76mm. These are not interchangeable. European and Asian equipment typically uses metric sizes; use 3MM for those applications. Verify fastener markings before selecting the correct wrench.
Q: Which pallet jack brands use 3MM Allen bolts?
A: The 3MM size is common on metric-specification equipment, particularly models from European manufacturers like Linde, BT, Jungheinrich, and some Toyota and Hyster models. Check your equipment documentation to confirm bolt sizes.
Q: Can a 3MM Allen wrench be used on imperial fasteners?
A: No. The 3MM hex key is sized for metric M3 fasteners only. Using it on imperial fasteners will result in a poor fit, potential wrench slippage, and fastener damage. Always match the wrench size to the fastener specification.
