What is the box key?
Crab key, also known as the key at the end of the box or annular key, is a specially designed key that is closed at one or both ends and made to bypass a specific type of nut or screw. The key is designed to release screws with a specific number of pages, such as six or 12. The key design allows it to be modified to turn the screw even in tight spaces where the movement is limited. The key can be bent at both ends at a certain angle to facilitate the rotation of the screws. The angle and twisting the key movement applies a special force with less effort at the end of the user. It also creates a stronger grip around the screw, while if the user tried to use his bare hands, his fingers would simply slip from the screw.
The end of the box key is closed and typical is closed at both ends instead of one. When used, the circular end slips over the screw and the key rotates.
