In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Eklind Short Series Hex-L 7/8 in. SAE Short Arm Hex L-Key is built for big fasteners in tight spaces. This 2 3/8" overall length, one‑piece alloy steel hex key is heat‑treated for lasting durability and finished in a distinctive blue for quick identification in busy tool kits.

Why the short‑arm design matters

When you’re working in cramped assemblies, a longer tool can collide with nearby components. The Short Arm Hex‑L design keeps the handle compact, lets you reach restricted fasteners, and provides solid torque control without crowding adjacent parts. It’s especially valuable for automotive work, equipment maintenance, and bike repairs where space is limited but strength matters.

Key specifications

  • Size: 7/8 inch SAE hex
  • Length: 2 3/8" overall
  • Material: Premium alloy steel
  • Finish: Blue, heat‑treated for hardness and wear resistance
  • Construction: One‑piece, designed for durability under high torque
  • Brand lineage: Eklind, Short Series Hex‑L

What problems it solves

Precisely fitting a 7/8" hex fastener is essential to prevent rounding and slippage. The short‑arm geometry minimizes clearance issues, enabling cleaner, faster assembly and disassembly in confined spaces. The heat‑treated alloy steel delivers reliable performance for repeated use across automotive, machinery, and industrial applications.

Who should use this

Ideal for professional technicians, automotive enthusiasts, bicycle mechanics, and DIYers tackling large hex fasteners in cramped environments. If you value precise fit, durable construction, and quick tool identification in your toolbox, this Hex L‑Key is a dependable choice.

Practical tips

  • Store with other SAE hex keys in a labeled organizer to minimize misalignment and keep the blue finish visible for easy retrieval.
  • After use, wipe clean and dry to maintain the alloy steel’s performance and longevity.
  • Pair with compatible handles or drivers for higher torque in tough spots, while leveraging the short‑arm advantage for better control.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
