Hex key "Professional 2.0" size 6 for climbing holds
Hex key "Professional 2.0" size 6
Advantages of this wrench at a glance:
- Easy handle attachment due to good leverage
- Easy attachment of climbing holds with very deep holes
- Easy to transport thanks to the hole in the cross handle
- Head size: 6 (suitable for countersunk screws DIN 7991 size M 10)
- Total length: 22 cm, of which 16 cm is hexagonal profile
- Total width: 9 cm
This completely redesigned "Professional 2.0" hex key is specifically tailored to the needs of climbing.
The small hexagonal profile on the plastic handle makes it very easy to tighten climbing holds with a normal depth drill hole, as the long hexagonal profile provides excellent leverage.
The extra-long hexagonal profile allows for the easy attachment of large climbing holds with very deep screw holes. If the leverage of the plastic handle is insufficient for a particular climbing hold, it can be further tightened with a size 20 wrench or pliers. An octagonal section is provided at the end of the plastic handle for this purpose (see detail image).
In addition, the wrench has a hole through which a cord can easily be threaded, so that it can be easily attached to the carabiner.

Conclusion:
The "PROFESSIONAL" special T-nut offers a
high-quality alternative to the standard T-nut. It also has advantages
over other special T-nuts that
are mounted with four chipboard screws. This is due not only to the halved
installation effort of the
"PROFESSIONAL" special T-nut, but also to its increased load-bearing capacity. The two holes
for the chipboard screws have a significantly larger diameter than
the four holes in a conventional special T-nut. This allows for
the use of thicker screws when installing the "PROFESSIONAL
," providing optimal stability for your climbing holds.
Installation:
As a first step, create a grid and mark all the locations where the T-nuts will later be installed. For bouldering walls, a 10 cm hole spacing is recommended (95 T-nuts required per square meter) or a 15 cm spacing (45 T-nuts required per square meter), with the second row offset from the row above. Alternatively, you can use exactly as many T-nuts as you have climbing holds. The disadvantage of this method is that you have limited options for repositioning the holds on the wall. Furthermore, if you extend the climbing wall to add more T-nuts, the entire panels would have to be removed. After marking the locations for the T-nuts, drill 12 mm holes at these points. The T-nut is then inserted into the panel from the back through these holes. For a better hold, apply a special wood-to-metal adhesive to the T-nut.
