Need help finding an allen key (hex screwdriver)

[blimp]

I can find the short one's in most hardware stores but I am looking for one at least 1 foot in length of size 5 or 3/16. Preferably with the T handle. Can anyone help me find this? I'm going nuts :(

I think you are going to have to go to a tool shop.I'm in B.C. and I don't think places like home depot or rona would have it but a place like KMS tools would. So wherever you're located track down the nearest tool shop and my only advice is if you're gonna be using it alot don't buy the cheapest one cause they tend to snap easy.Hope this helps a bit.

If yours is too short maybe you can use an extension, lol, I know it sounds dirty, but...

Try NAPA if you have one near you. They have almost anything and if they don't they can get it.

I'm in the east of canada. Quebec to be percise. I tried home depot, canadian tire, BMC, rona, reno depot. They all have the short ones. The screw is underneath a heavy piece of equipment about 1 inch off the floor. It's about 12 inches to get to it but since it's 1 inch off the floor, i need something to give me a good turning angle. I tried with an extension on a screwdriver. I managed to get one screw of the 2 off but the other one is super tight and I can't get an angle on it for turning it with all my strength with a screwdriver. Fack, I'm gonna torch it soon....lol

I just cut the "L" off the allen key, then attach the bit to my drill.
