Square Key Stock Assortment Set – 45 Pieces, 3 Inches Long

Description

When you’re out in the field and a shaft key shears off, it doesn’t matter if you’ve got the biggest, best tractor around – you’re dead in the water until you get that keyway fixed. This 45-piece assortment gives you the most common square key stock sizes in one handy package, so you can get back to work instead of making emergency runs to town for a single piece of key stock.

What You’re Getting

• Complete range of common sizes from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch – covers most farm equipment applications
• 45 pieces total with extra quantities of the sizes you use most (12 pieces of 1/8 inch, 10 each of 3/16 and 1/4 inch)
• All keys are 3 inches long – plenty of material to cut custom lengths for your specific application
• Quality carbon steel construction that machines cleanly and holds up to the torque and shock loads
• Organized assortment eliminates guesswork – you’ll know exactly what sizes you have on hand

Built for Real Farm Work

Square key stock is what locks pulleys, gears, and sprockets to their shafts on everything from PTO drives and hydraulic pumps to implement drive systems and engine accessories. Whether you’re fixing a busted key on your hay baler’s pickup reel, replacing worn keys in your planter’s drive system, or doing maintenance on a manure spreader, having the right sizes ready saves both time and frustration when equipment breaks down during critical work periods.

Made to Last

These keys are made from proper carbon steel that cuts and files easily when you need to fit them to specific applications, but they’re tough enough to handle the shock loads and vibration that farm equipment dishes out. The 3-inch length gives you enough material to make multiple keys from a single piece or to custom-fit longer applications.

Good to Know

Keep this assortment in your shop toolbox or on your service truck – you’ll be surprised how often you reach for it. When cutting keys to length, a hacksaw works fine, but a cutoff wheel makes cleaner cuts. Always file or grind any sharp edges smooth, and remember that keys should fit snug in the keyway without being so tight they distort the shaft or hub.
