Hey all,

Ive been looking everywhere, online and offline and I cant seem to find a certain allen wrench.  I need to find an wrench that is bent into a circle or "eyed" on one end so that it will fit onto a key chain. One person at my business but he doesnt remember who gave it to him or where he bought it.

ANy ideas? I would prefer to not bend my own.

Are you sure wasn't just a standard allen wrench that just had another piece attached to it?



You could also just get a regular wrench and drill a hole in one end for the key ring. Of course it would have to be big enough for such a thing.

Buy a cheap folding set at Lowe's and take the one you need off.

Heat and bend an extra long allen wrench of the correct size.

I've never seen one "eyed" like you're talking about. Closest thing I've seen is a standard allen wrench with a coilly spring attatched to one end allowing it to secure to a keychain.

How does that work?
I must be thinking of a different definition of "dogging".

Genius!



However, nowhere near as sexy as finding and acquiring a specialty tool!

I dont want to do this though, only because I need 5-7 of them to give them to staff, so buying 7 sets and dismantling them is really wasteful.

Average person isn't going to get a hole in a hex key. They're hard.

The style asked for in the OP likely came from one of the sets that fold into their own case kind of like a pocket knife.

Doors with exit devices can be unlocked by pushing in the bash bar and turning a hex wrench in a hole.  It's called dogging the door.  You can see the hole on the right in this picture:

this is exactly why I need these, im a facility director for a very large church, and I buy 5/32 allen wrenches by the bundle and people keep walking away with them.  This way staff can carry the wrenches on key chains so noone is out of luck if all the normal wrenches are gone and doors need to be locked or unlocked from the inside.

I work in a school and have two different sizes on my work key chain for dogging the doors.

Now that I know such a thing exists, I might buy a couple for my office as well.
