GENEX

Experience the comfortable grip and the new torque transmission feeling by the X-handle. Enjoy the workability that is a little different from the standard L type and T type.

GENEX is a X handle hex wrench for tightening and loosening hexagonal bolts. The design focused on a sense of hold and torque transmission as the most important points. Available sizes are 4, 5, and 6 mm. The surface is plated with hard chrome, which is said to be the hardest of all electroplatings and has excellent abrasion resistance, for the best finish. The wrench size is engraved in large letters on both sides.

When working with a short bit, grip the X-handle and insert it straight into the hex socket of the bolt. One of the causes of hex socket stripping is tightening or loosening the wrench without pushing it all the way into the socket. GENEX makes it easy to grip the X-handle and push it straight into the hex socket. By placing your thumb on the cap and tightening using the principle of leverage, you can feel the torque being transmitted with your hand while working, and it also makes it easier to keep the wrench perpendicular to the bolt hole, allowing you to work safely.

The main tasks with a long-shaft wrench are quick turning and provisional tightening. To make quick turning easier when your hands are oily and slippery, the tip of the wrench is knurled. The X-shaped handle is used to position the seat and other parts, and to provisionally tighten when attaching a chainring. To improve the feel of provisional tightening, one side of the short bit is rounded off, which also provides good skin sensation for the fingers.

The name "GENEX" contains the meaning of the next generation. The big challenge was to transform a simple tool made by bending a hexagonal bar into a tool that combines innovative design with practicality, functionality, and novelty, making it a favorite tool among professionals. To achieve this, we adopted the X-shaped handle, which we briefly explained above. There are sliding handles on the market, but they tend to slide when working, interrupting the work, so we adopted a fixed handle for GENEX in order to achieve the "ideal qualia" that Runwell aims for. There are other small points that we paid particular attention to, so please feel them when you use it :)

 *The top cap is removable. You can remove it and fix the hex bit with a set screw as well. Please use metal glue to fix the cap if you feel you need to.
