Xiaoguo® uses high carbon alloy steel to make professional long hexagon socket screw keys,like S2 tool steel or Chrome Vanadium steel (think DIN 1.2210 / 50CrV4 types).This strong stuff needs to be tough (so it won’t break under impact) and hard once they heat-treat it. If you go with cheaper steel, the tool might fail when you’re using it, which could mess up the screws or even hurt you. The material just needs to hold up when you really crank down on the torque,no bending or breaking under pressure.

Taking good care of long hexagon socket screw keys helps them last longer. Always wipe them down right after you use them, especially if they got wet, came into contact with chemicals, or picked up dirt that could cause rust or scratches. Putting a little oil now and then on the hex part and the tip can help keep rust away. Store them in a dry, organized spot,like a toolbox or drawer to keep them from getting bent or damaged. And importantly, don’t try to use too much force with them or hit them with a hammer. If a screw is stuck, try to figure out why instead of risking damaging the key’s tip or the hex edges.
Q: How do you ensure the corrosion resistance of your long hexagon socket screw keys for harsh environments?
A: To make sure our long hexagon socket screw key hold up in tough spots like marine, chemical, or outdoor work, we use a strong surface treatment. Usually, that means a tough black oxide coating or zinc plating with passivation. This coating helps fight rust and oxidation a lot, making the tools last longer and keep working well even when they get wet, hit chemicals, or face different temps. So they stay reliable no matter how much you use them in rough conditions.
