Reliable 1/2" Square Key Stock for Equipment Repair

When welding up a repair on heavy equipment or fabricating new machinery, having the right hardware is just as important as the weld itself. Walter Key Steel (48H480) is a premium 1/2-inch square stock designed for securing drive components like sprockets, gears, and pulleys to shafts. Made from robust carbon steel, this key stock handles the torque and stress of demanding workshop environments.

Fabricators and welders often encounter worn or sheared keys when servicing agricultural equipment, pumps, or industrial motors. This 12-inch length of key stock allows you to quickly manufacture replacement keys on the spot.
