Hex Screwdrivers and T-Handle Hex Drivers
Hex screwdrivers put an Allen tip on a screwdriver handle, so you can spin set screws and cap screws faster than with an L-key. Wera leads this collection with 454 T-handle Hex-Plus drivers, including models with holding function, plus 352 ball end and 354 drivers and small-diameter drivers for electronics. Wiha adds precision hex sets in inch and metric, SoftGrip dual drive T-handle tray sets, and an ESD safe micro bit set. Milwaukee offers a 14-in-1 hex multi-bit screwdriver.
What to Look For
- Handle style. Straight handles spin fast. T-handles add grip for tighter screws.
- Holding function. Wera Hf models hold the screw on the tip for one-handed starts.
- Precision sizes. Electronics drivers go down to 0.7 mm. ESD safe tools suit sensitive circuits.
- Ball end. Ball end tips reach screws at an angle.

Hex Screwdrivers FAQ
Hex screwdriver or hex key?
A hex screwdriver is faster for running screws in and out. A hex key gives more leverage for breaking loose or final tightening. T-handle drivers sit between the two.
What does "holding function" mean on Wera drivers?
Wera 454 Hf models hold the screw on the tip, so you can start a screw in a deep or awkward spot without dropping it.
