Small hex fasteners on panel covers, fixture brackets and equipment housings are easy to round off with pliers. The Klein Tools 68411 is a 5/16 in combination wrench with an open end and a 12-point box end, both offset 15° so your knuckles clear obstructions in tight spots. At just over 4-3/8 in long, it fits into enclosures and ceiling spaces where a ratchet can't swing.
Why electricians pick it
- 12-point box end grips the fastener fully for breaking it loose.
- Open end and box end both offset 15° for clearance in confined areas.
- Forged from alloy steel for strength in a small tool.
- Nickel-chrome plating resists corrosion in damp mechanical rooms and trucks.
- Short 4.375 in length gets into panels and fixture boxes.

Pro tip from the counter
5/16 in is the hex size on #10 hex-washer-head sheet metal screws, the kind holding many panel covers, gutter and duct straps, and on a #6 machine screw nut. When a nut driver cams out on a painted or rusted one, the 12-point box end will usually break it loose without stripping the head.
Best for: panel and enclosure covers, fixture brackets and small hardware, HVAC and mechanical service, maintenance tool bags
