Are you looking for the new SN2 allen key or the Original Nova geared (For SuperNova)? I have one of the geared.
The GEARED version, thanks
That was why I bought the other type. I figured the ability to just buy a replacement Allen key at any hardware store was a big plus. (of course, I've not lost one yet and got a new one with each body
)
Should've told me that years ago.
Note there are two different geared chuck keys for Nova chucks and they are not interchangeable. , One is for the G3 and one for the orig SN. Anyone who has an extra key would need to know which type you needed. Maybe measure the ID of the chuck body. The G3s are smaller. I gave the G3s away so I can't measure one. My SNs are about 3-7/8" dia.
The G3 uses a rigid key and the SN (not SN2) uses a gear with a pivot. I'd have to check if I have any spare geared keys that fit your specific chuck.
I bought some of four different types of Nova chucks. Before the new SN2 and Titan chucks were released that use the hex key, the only Nova choice was a geared key.
