1.2mm Allen key

Precision where it matters most: the 1.2 mm allen key from Avant Slot

In the slot workshop, the small details make the difference between a well-tuned car and one that does not respond as it should. The 1.2 mm allen key from Avant Slot (ref. AV60115) is designed specifically for those moments when you need to work on M2.5 screws with complete control and without the risk of damaging the screw head.

Function and performance

This 1.2 mm internal hexagonal profile allen key fits directly into M2.5 screws, which are commonly found in chassis, motor mounts, axle supports, and other precision components in competitive slot cars. A clean and secure fit prevents rounding of the socket, which is especially critical when working with small-sized parts.

Compatibility and applications

Designed for the assembly and disassembly of M2.5 screws present in:

• Plastic and machined metal chassis
• Motor mounts and supports
• Rear and front axle fixings
• Preparation and tuning components in general

Compatible with the sets and accessories from Avant Slot itself, as well as with any component that uses this screw standard.

Assembly and preparation

To get the most out of this tool and avoid damage to the screws, it is advisable to fully insert it into the hexagonal socket before applying torque. With small screws like the M2.5, the risk of rounding the head is greater if working with incorrect or worn keys. Having the exact size —1.2 mm— is the best guarantee of a clean job.

Frequently asked questions

What screws is this 1.2 mm allen key designed for?

It is specifically designed for M2.5 screws, which feature an internal hexagonal socket of 1.2 mm. They are very common in chassis components and motor mounts of slot cars.

Can I use it with screws from other brands besides Avant Slot?

Yes. The M2.5 screw standard with a 1.2 mm socket is common to many slot component and modelling manufacturers. The key will work with any screw that adheres to that measurement, regardless of the brand.

Is it necessary to have this key if I already have a generic allen key set?

It depends on whether your set includes the exact measurement of 1.2 mm. Many budget sets do not include it or include it with less precise finishes. Having the correct measurement from a reference brand in slot like Avant Slot ensures a more reliable fit and reduces the risk of damaging the screws.

Does the key come with a handle or is it just the rod?

The description provided by the manufacturer does not specify this detail. We recommend consulting with our team before placing the order if this point is relevant for your use.
