5 mm hex key T-handle
Description
There's already a bunch of hex key handles out there, but all of the metric ones topped out at 4 mm. Here's a simple 5 mm one. Moderately parametric model. I got lazy when it came to the handle, especially the fillets. The zip-tie is recessed. The head sticks out a little bit, but it really doesn't bother me. - head width is about 4.87 mm - thickness: 1 mm With the zip-tie, the hex key is very secure. I'd say it's necessary for use. I used a pair of nail clippers to flush trim the excess off, & it's comfortable to hold. The hex key slot fits closely; it could be a little closer. The hole through which the key sits is the same size as the slot, but came out slightly small. I had to gently twist the key through. I'm going to leave the file as-is. As for the my hex key dimensions, it turns out they aren't tightly standardized. Here are two tables I found for metric hex keys: - https://www1.mscdirect.com/PDF/FASTENERS/HexKeys.pdf - https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/232898738291_/15-10MM-Metric-L-Arm-Allen-Hex-Key-Wrench-Steel.jpg Neither of which match mine. Mine has a short arm length of 29 mm, & a long arm length of 73 mm.
