STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a hex tool with a spherical joint to provide the hex tool with more accessibility to certain spaces, more approach angles, more operation angles and can work in conjunction with other tools.

2. Description of the Related Art

Typical hex tools, such as Allen wrenches, are rigid tools where an engagement end is perpendicular to the handle. Thus, the accessibility of the typical hex tool is limited due to the rigid design.

Accordingly, there is a need for a hex tool with a design that provides more accessibility to certain spaces and increased operability.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure is directed to a hex tool. The hex tool including a hex head having a hex portion for engaging socket head cap screws or wrenches. The hex portion also having a body portion extending from the hex portion. The body portion having a spherical-shaped cavity disposed therein. The hex tool also includes a handle with a ball end and a primary handle portion. The ball end disposed in the spherical-shaped cavity to provide the hex tool a significant range of motion during use.

The present disclosure is also directed to another type of hex tool. The hex tool having a hex head having a hex cavity for engaging a hex head bolt. The hex head also having a body portion extending from the hex cavity. The body portion having a spherical-shaped cavity disposed therein. The hex tool also including a handle with a ball end and a primary handle portion. The ball end disposed in the spherical-shaped cavity to provide the hex tool a significant range of motion during use.
