Count On Tools Introduces PB Swiss Tools’ Rainbow© Hex Key Sets

May 12, 2010

Count On Tools Inc., a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, introduces Rainbow© Hex Key Sets from PB Swiss Tools.

The color-coded features of PB Swiss Tools’ Rainbow© Series set them apart from the rest by giving an indication of size to every tool. PB Swiss Tools’ uses the latest high-tech processes to manufacture colored handles and blades to make work better, easier and more efficient.

The Rainbow® series allows users to quickly find the right hex key due to recognition of the sizes by color. The key sets feature precisely chamfered corners for easy insertion into screws. Additionally, the RainBow® series provides absolute precision and the highest regularity with tolerances smaller than a human hair.

Rainbow® hex key sets are labeled with the serial number for additional security, and to enable tracing the production back to the raw material. The key sets are chrome-plated with a powder-coated color finish for protection against corrosion.

PB hex keys feature a perfectly shaped ballpoint end that allows any user to turn the screws with an angle up to 30°. PB Swiss is the only manufacturer to offer such a large angle for ballpoint hex keys, which allows them to be more versatile for the user and very unique.
