For M3 screws, typical torque limits are 0.5–1.0 Nm; for M4, 1.2–2.5 Nm; for M5, 2.5–5.0 Nm. Exceeding these ranges with any hex key risks rounding the socket or damaging the key. For high-torque industrial applications, a T-handle or torque wrench with a hex bit is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this hex key work with stainless steel or hardened fasteners?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility depends on the hardness of the key material relative to the fastener.

M4 and M5 hex keys are the most common sizes used in flat-pack furniture assembly. The compact form factor of this key makes it easy to reach recessed bolt heads inside pre-drilled furniture panels.
