Q: What can I use to replace the Allen key provided with the BOSCH PKS66?

The BOSCH PKS66 comes with an Allen key to lock the spindle when changing the blade. If you have lost it, you can replace it with a standard Allen key. Although the manual for your PKS66 does not specify the exact size of the Allen key, the most common sizes for this type of circular saw are 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm . To find the right one: Test progressively - Start with a 3 mm Allen key, then try 4 mm, and finally 5 mm until you find the one that fits perfectly into the spindle lock hole (located on the side of the saw head). Never force - The key should fit in easily. Forcing it could damage the locking mechanism. Once the correct size is identified, you can obtain a replacement Allen key from: An authorized BOSCH dealer (they have original spare parts) A specialized spare parts website (make sure the size matches your measurement) A tool accessory supplier (hardware store, specialized tool shop)
