1/2-Inch Drive Spline Bit M12, 800mm Length Extension
Brief Overview
This 800mm spline bit extension delivers extended reach for accessing recessed or deeply-seated M12 fasteners in automotive, industrial, and machinery assembly work. The M12 multi-lobe spline profile ensures positive engagement without cam-out, while the 1/2" drive socket end integrates seamlessly with standard impact wrenches and ratchet systems. Whether you're stocking specialized fastener tools or offering extended-reach bit socket sets to your customer base, this extension addresses a critical gap in professional tool kits—delivering precision engagement on spline-drive fasteners that demand both length and reliability.
Key Features
- 800mm Overall Length: Provides deep penetration access for recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners
- M12 Spline Profile: Multi-lobe design prevents slippage and reduces fastener damage during removal or installation
- 1/2" Drive Socket End: Direct compatibility with pneumatic and manual 1/2" drive tools; female square recess for reliable connection
- Matte-Black Hardened Steel Shaft: Flat-faceted construction reduces rotational flex; corrosion-resistant finish supports durability in shop and field environments
- Machined Chrome Socket Fitting: Precision-engineered drive end with stamped identification for tool traceability
Why This Matters for Your Business
Stock Depth & Customer Retention: Long-reach extensions are high-turnover items in professional shops. Customers repeatedly purchase these for specific jobs and keep backups on hand. This length (800mm) fills a gap between standard short bits and specialty extensions, making it a reliable repeat-sale opportunity.
Margin Protection: Spline bit extensions command premium pricing relative to standard hex bits due to their specialized geometry and precision manufacturing. This product category supports healthy gross margins while remaining competitively priced.
Technical Credibility: Offering precision spline extensions signals to your distribution network that you stock professional-grade tools for specialized fastening. Pair this with complete spline bit socket sets to create a tiered product ecosystem.
