Skil Launches Innovative Powered Hex Key Set for DIY Enthusiasts
By Editor • September 11, 2026 • 1 min read
Skil has unveiled the world's first powered hex key set, a revolutionary addition for those who appreciate the convenience of modern tools. Designed with versatility in mind, this set allows users to tackle various tasks with ease.
Ergonomic Design and Functionality
The new hex key set features a head that can lock in three different positions—90°, 135°, and 180°—making it adaptable for different angles and tight spaces. Operation is simplified as users only need to use their thumb to control the tool, allowing for more precise handling.
Battery and Compatibility
Powered by a rechargeable 4V battery, the hex key set can be easily charged via USB-C, ensuring that you’re always ready for your next project. However, the design appears to favor right-handed users, which may leave left-handed users feeling overlooked.
Product Options and Pricing
Skil offers two versions of the powered hex key set. The basic model is priced at $50 and includes 11 hex bits, although it can only accommodate five bits for onboard storage. For those seeking more versatility, the $70 kit comes with the same basic unit, along with additional bits including 5 Philips, 5 flathead, and 5 Torx, making it a comprehensive choice for any toolkit.
