About this part

The Exotek Hudy/Protek Metric Hex ID Collar Set is a handy identification collar set that can be used with most brands of hex wrenches including Hudy, Protek, Associated, and more. When all of your wrenches looks the same, these color coded collars will help you to quickly identify the size you need. The collars are engraved with 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 sizes to suit the most common metric wrench sizes. The collars use 2mm set screws to secure them on the tool tip, and a .9mm Allen key is included to make installation easy.

NOTE: Collars fit 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 wrench tip shafts with a 3mm diameter shank, and 3.0 shafts with a 3.5mm diameter shank.

.It's worth noting that the numbers on the tool are much smaller in real life, which can make it challenging for those with aging eyes to read them properly. It's crucial to consider this issue when deciding on a tool to ensure that it meets your needs and provides clear, easy-to-read information.

Great looking ID collars. All as expected except one collar arrived with an oversized hole and no threads. Amain customer service handled the issue immediately.

Very nice addition to Protek SL hex wrench. 4 stars as the set screw sticks out considerably once seated. This is not a functional issue but as this is “bling”, a supplied, shorter set screw would get 5 stars. Will buy again.

What reviewers say

Several note that the set screws should not be overtightened, and one suggests adding thread locker to prevent stripping.
