Eklind 64925 2.5 MM Power-T T-Handle Hex T-Key allen wrench

Used this item to upgrade processors on a 2010 MacPro 5,1

I purchased this for my Odin Works stainless steel tunable gas block. I needed a wrench long enough to reach the gas block adjustment screws under the handguard and this was perfect.I read in another review that the wrench bent. I'd imagine that can happen, but not while in use if you're careful. Perhaps tossing it in a tool box might get it bent. I had an idea...I used the little cardboard tube from a dry cleaner's pants hanger- cut to size. Perfect disposable storage case.

I use this to adjust my gas block under a long hand rail. Because this tool is so long and only 5/64ths, you really can't crank anything down. It works great for me, but if you need this for a project where you really need to apply some muscle to crank something down tight, this will start to twist. It's not a design flaw and it is understandable since the diameter is so small.

Overall, I'm very happy with this T allen. I had not closely read the description so I was surprised when a super long (9") allen showed up. But it ended up working out even better....love the reach on this. And the slight flexibility on the longer arm eliminates the need for a ball end too.There is one limitation. Long arm allen tools cannot apply as much force as their short arm counterparts of the same size. In this case a 2mm allen with 9" arm is meant for applications where you only need to seat a fastener and not torque it down as is the case for my specific application. You will deform this tool if you try to use it to apply too much force.

Ought this as a dedicated Allen key for my shopsmith. Very high quality and minimal flex. Appears to be good steel and fits the hex recess snuggly.
