5/64" Allen key "Mini series"

Small in size, big on precision: the 5/64" Mini Series allen key goes where others can't

In the preparation of a slot car, the details make the difference between a well-tuned car and one that fails to perform. The 5/64" allen key from the Mini Series (reference XT-022564) meets that need exactly: a compact tool designed to work comfortably in the tight spaces commonly found in chassis, mounts, motors, and drivetrain components.

Main features

• Size: 5/64", one of the most commonly used sizes for small-format slot component screws.
• Part of the Mini Series, designed to offer manoeuvrability in hard-to-reach areas.
• Reference: XT-022564.

Applications in the slot workshop

This key is particularly useful when working with motor mounting screws, adjusting pinions, tightening crown gears, or any point on the chassis where a conventional key head does not fit easily. The Mini format allows for greater freedom of movement in confined spaces without losing the necessary torque for proper assembly.

Who is this tool for?

Whether you are preparing cars for club competition or enjoying tuning at home, having the right set of allen keys is essential. The 5/64" size fills a specific gap in the preparer's toolbox: not as common as the 1/16" or 3/32", but indispensable when you need it and don't have it.

Frequently asked questions

What metric size is equivalent to the 5/64" key?

The 5/64" size is approximately 1.98 mm, placing it between the 1.5 mm and 2 mm keys in the metric system. It is important to use the exact size in inches to avoid damaging the screw head.

Is it compatible with the standard screws used in competition slot cars?

It depends on the manufacturer and the component. Many mounting screws in chassis and mounts from brands that work with imperial standards use inch measurements. Always check the screw specification before applying the key.

What advantage does the Mini Series have over a standard allen key?

The Mini format makes it easier to work in restricted access areas, such as inside a closed chassis or around the motor mount, where a conventional length key may collide with other parts or fail to complete the turn.

Is it sold as a single unit or in a set?

The reference XT-022564 corresponds to the 5/64" allen key sold individually. If you need to complete a set of Mini Series keys, check the other references in the same series.
