8mm Hex Extra Reach Socket Wrench with Sliding T-Bar Extension and Universal Joint

Brief Overview

This 8mm hex socket wrench is engineered for mechanics and technicians who need extended reach in tight, confined spaces where standard wrenches cannot fit. The telescoping design combines a sliding T-bar extension with a pivoting universal joint, allowing you to access fasteners at multiple angles without repositioning your body or removing the tool. Chrome-plated construction ensures corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that builds confidence with your end customers. Whether you're working on precision assembly, automotive underbody components, or machinery where space is critical, this tool delivers. We also stock 10mm hex socket extensions and 6mm hex variations for complete size coverage across your workshop.

Key Features

• 8mm Hex Socket – 6-point design minimizes cam-out on tight or worn fasteners
• Extended Reach Design – 388mm total length (L1) with 146mm sliding extension (L2) for access to recessed or deep-set bolts
• Telescoping Shaft – Multiple sections with indexed detent pins lock the extension at your preferred length; prevents accidental collapse under light load
• Universal Joint – Pivoting head allows angle adjustments up to approximately 45°, essential for fasteners not aligned with shaft axis
• Chrome-Plated Finish – Smooth, reflective plating resists corrosion and oxidation; maintains a clean, professional appearance
• Rubber Grip Stops – Two strategically placed grip rings prevent slipping and reduce hand fatigue during extended use
• Lightweight Construction – At 173g, the tool is easy to handle and won't tire users during repetitive assembly work
• Open Handle End – Squared or slotted terminal accepts additional handles or leverage adapters; also suitable for tool hanging

Why This Product Works for Your Business

This is a high-demand specialty tool with consistent reorder potential. Mechanics and assembly technicians discover it solves problems standard wrenches cannot—it then becomes a staple purchase. The 8mm size bridges micro-fastener work (common in electronics and precision machinery) and mid-range automotive assembly. Low weight and compact storage footprint mean resellers can stock multiple sizes without inventory strain. Chrome finish and indexed locking mechanism communicate durability to your customers, justifying a professional-grade price point and supporting healthy margin.
