Drift Key 1-2

Extra Information

• Ensure the drift key is fully seated in the slot or groove of the component being removed to avoid slipping under torque.
• Use an appropriate socket or breaker bar on the ½″ drive to apply leverage — avoid using cheater pipes which may exceed safe limits for the tool.
• Keep the tip clean and free of burrs or damage to maintain proper engagement and reduce wear on parts.
• This tool is designed for removal of components; it is not intended for driving in or installation of press-fits unless specified by manufacturer.

Features

• ½″ square drive connection standard interface for sockets and breaker bars.
• Hardened steel body designed to withstand impact and torque when removing pressed parts.
• Precision-ground key tip ensures a secure fit in retainer grooves or slots, reducing slippage.
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and long service life.
• Compact length suitable for tight workshops or under-vehicle access.

Benefits

• Efficient removal: Makes it faster and safer to remove pulleys, retainer rings and hubs than improvising with makeshift tools.
• Standard tooling compatibility: Works with existing ½″ drive sockets and wrenches, reducing need for specialised equipment.
• Durable for workshop use: Hardened construction ensures long life even under repeated torque and impact.
• Prevents damage: Proper fit and build reduce risk of damaging parts, bearings or surfaces during extraction.

Safety

• Wear appropriate eye, ear and dust protection when extracting parts under load.
• Ensure the vehicle or machine is securely supported and isolated before attempting removal of pressed components.
• Keep hands and body clear of the extraction path in case of sudden release or spring-loaded parts.
• Inspect the tool before use — stop using if cracks, chips or excessive wear is found in the tip or drive interface.
