Need Special Allen Wrech Tool
Anyone ever heard of or better yet where I can purchase a special tool for allen heads. Need to install tiny set screws in tight places a normal screwdriver won't fit, currently using L shaped allen wrenches.
Preferably that can be turned by a dial on the end of the wrench and if adjustable that would be a plus. I keep hearing people telling me of this tool, but I can not find it, hopefully some one knows something. Thanks. |
cant you use an allen socket on a rachet???
|
No it is too tight of fit. What I really need is to take an allen and make it finger ready to twist. I use these to set the screws in our speaker covers and it gets tight is some areas.
Just wondering what is out there! |
Check Custom Chrome catalog for harley parts.
|
use ball hex allens. they can be had in L shapes,screw driver,and sockets. if they have to be small try radio shack. or places like MSC Industries, Enco online , ect.
|
Thanks for the suggestion guys I will try your suggestions.
|
If worst comes to worst and you can't find a tool, go to some local machine shops or metals supply and get some HEX bar stock. You buy steel HEX bar stock from 1/16" and up in lengths up to 12'

Mac Tools makes a right angled screw driver that you can put bits in like a regular driver. VERY handy tool. You can pull the handle off of it and put it in a drill too. This thing is priceless at my shop. I think it would work well for you too. It has a gear inside it, when you twist the handle the bit holder spins.
When I get home tonight I'll see if I can get on their site and post a link for ya. I think you'll like it. Buck |

Wish I could find a pic of that thing. Doesn't look like Mac has a link to it on their site.
This tool is unreal. I have something like the one in the link. This tool by Mac will blow that out of the water. Gotta see it! Who is the Mac Tool guy here on the board? He'll know what I'm talking about. I think the number on the handle is SD90A. Buck |
