RIDGID HEX WRENCH : MECHANIC SCREWDRIVER.

Ridgid Hex Wrench

A hex key (also known by various synonyms) is a tool of hexagonal cross-section used to drive bolts and screws that have a hexagonal socket in the head (internal-wrenching hexagon drive).

Ridgid is the brandname of the Ridge Tool Company of Elyria, Ohio. Founded in the 1920s as a manufacturer of professional plumbing and HVAC tools, it has branched out into more general-purpose hand tools and power tools. It is now a division of Emerson Electric Company.

This HUSKY hex wrench key holds all the SAE, and metric wrenches that come with it, through holes all around its 6-sided body. The yellow bit slides over the small part of the wrench after you've inserted it through the proper hole, and this clamps it in place. The handle also fits through the middle of the holders of the two sets of wrenches, locking them together.

Cutting the hex wrench

If you cut the bend off a hex wrench, you can use it as a driver in your drill. Maybe I shouldn't have been doing these two things at once. Taken by CoryQ.
