Features on the item:

  • Wera has developed a range of rust-resistant stainless steel hex keys, that prevent "3rd party-rust" from accruing when non-stainless-steel hex keys are used on stainless steel screws
  • These are a specialist set of rust-resistant hex keys aimed at the highly professional end user.

The advantages

  • Anti-extraneous rust
    Wera stainless steel tools produce no debris that can cause extraneous rust. Stainless steel screws and surfaces stay rust free
  • 100% shop floor proof
    The Wera vaccum ice-hardening process gives the tool the required toughness and wear resistance for heavy duty industrial applications
  • Efficiency
    The risk of extraneous rust is minimised only when using stainless steel tools when tighting and loosing stainless steel screws. Subsequent damage and costa are prevented
  • INOX:
    Wera stainless steel (INOX) tools are necessary in humid environments or when fixing stainless steel elements and stainless steel screws to avoid abrasion that leads to rust.

Wera development and research findings:

  • Extraneous Rust - How does rust appear on stainless steel?
    Stainless steel is corrosion resistant. However extraneous rust can occur if stainless steel is handled incorrectly. The results range from visual damage and functional loss up to pitting corrosion.
    So the stainless steel advantage has been lost. In a worse-case scenario this could lead to serious safety defects, complaints and extra costs.
  • What causes extraneous rust?
    Extraneous rust is caused by tools made from conventional steel. Even the hardest tools produce wear debris that leaves adhesive steel particles on the stainless steel surface. These particles turn to rust when in contact with oxygen.
  • The Solution
    How can extraneous rust be prevented?
    Extraneous rust can be prevented by using stainless steel tools and keeping them from contact with normal steel tools. Stainless steel screws require stainless steel tools. This is the only way of avoiding extraneous rust. Stainless steel tools should be stored separately from convential tools and only be used on stainless steel screws.
  • Are Stainless steel tools suitable for shop floor?
    Wera have developed and produced a process to ensure that Wera's stainless steel tools meet the same tough requirements as convential tools. Wera tools are designed for industrial applications as they have been vaccum ice-hardened.
  • These hex keys are fully backed up by Wera and come with a full guarantee.
