Hand Drills L-Key

Description

Hand Drills L-Key

The hand drill L-key tightens and loosens the chuck on our orthopedic hand drill. It is sold as a spare or replacement.

A small but essential part

Without the key, the chuck cannot grip a bit firmly. Therefore a lost key can stop a case. Moreover, a spare avoids that problem.

How it works

The key fits into the chuck and turns it. As a result, the chuck jaws close on the bit. Turning back releases it.

Who needs a hand drill L-key

Owners of our hand drill should keep a spare. Also, sterile processing departments order replacements after losses. Field teams keep extras.

Fit

Please confirm your hand drill before ordering. Furthermore, we will check that the key fits the chuck. Besides, that avoids returns.

Storage

Small keys go missing in wash baskets. Consequently, attach the key to the drill set or store it in a labeled slot. Count it after each case.

Tightening technique

Insert the key and turn until the chuck feels firm. Then check that the bit does not slip. Overtightening is rarely needed.

Aftercare and checks

Customers receive three years against manufacturing defects with every L-key in all cases. Prior to shipping, an inspector in Atlanta inspects every L-key closely. For a related option, explore the chuck handle. Extra tools sit in the orthopedic department. The common questions page answers returns and delivery. We also prepare a quote by email. Most hospitals keep a second L-key to cover reprocessing time. Steel for surgical tools has its own standard: ASTM F899.

Professional buyers only. Shipping times sit on our shipping terms. The care page notes image variation together with nickel in the steel.
