Stanley 8-Piece Metric Folding Hex Key Set
Stanley's STHT71800 packs eight metric hex keys - 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm - into a single folding handle, the same layout as a folding knife so the sizes stay together and none goes missing in a drawer.
Each key has a chamfered tip to guide it into a rounded or worn fastener head, and the composite handle carries rubber side inserts for grip under torque. It's sized for general assembly and adjustment work, not high-torque automotive or machine applications where an L-shaped or ball-end key gives more leverage.
Features and Common Uses
- Eight folding metric hex keys in one compact handle: 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm

- Size markings stamped on each key stay legible after use
- Meets ANSI specifications
Commonly used for:
- Furniture and cabinet hardware assembly

- General maintenance where a compact, self-contained set beats loose keys

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are included?
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm - the common range for furniture, fixture and light-assembly hardware.
Metric or SAE?
This set, STHT71800, is metric only. Stanley sells the SAE equivalent as the 9-piece STHT71801.
Does it come with a case?
No separate case - the folding handle is the storage: each key swings into the handle body like a knife blade, so there's nothing loose to lose.
