- Each end shall be square with the axis of each arm within 4 deg, and edges may be sharp or chamfered at the option of the manufacturer. The chamfer shall not exceed the values listed.
 - Any truncation or rounding of hexagon corners within the specified across-corner dimensions shall be evident on all corners.
 - Material (Steel Alloy). Hexagon keys and bits shall be fabricated from an alloy steel having two or more of the following alloying elements: chromium, nickel, molybdenum, or vanadium, in sufficient quantity to assure that the specified minimum hardness of 48 HRC at the surface for sizes up to and including 3/8 in., and 45 HRC for sizes over 3/8 in., is met when hexagon keys and bits are hardened by quenching from the austenitizing temperature and tempered.
