Product Description

Brief Overview

This 8mm hex drive slotted screwdriver bit delivers reliable performance for precision fastening applications where space constraints demand a compact solution. The SL12 profile is engineered for standard slotted fasteners, making it an essential addition to any professional tool kit. Pair this with complementary bits like the Phillips head variant in the same 30mm length or compatible Torx profiles to build a complete fastening system for your customers.

Key Features

  • 8mm Hexagonal Shank: Direct compatibility with standard 1/4-inch hex drive tools and drill chucks
  • SL12 Slotted Profile: Optimized tip geometry for single-slot fasteners, minimizing cam-out and bit wear
  • 30mm Overall Length: Compact design ideal for tight access areas and precision work
  • Chamfered Head Design: Beveled edges reduce stress concentration and extend bit lifespan
  • Matte Steel Construction: Durable, corrosion-resistant finish suitable for workshop and field environments
  • Retention Notches: Secure fit in quick-change holders and automatic bit systems

Why This Bit Matters for Your Business

Stock Turnover: The SL12 profile remains a steady performer in mixed-bit assortments. Customers building tool kits need multiple slot sizes—this 30mm length fills the gap between compact bits and longer fastening applications.

Bulk Order Appeal: Distributors benefit from bundling this bit with Phillips (PZ3), Torx (T40, T50), and other slotted variants (SL8, SL10) to create complete bit sets. Standardized 8mm hex drives across all profiles simplify inventory management and reduce SKU complexity.

Margin Protection: At this compact length and profile specificity, resellers can command premium pricing for precision-grade bits. The SL12 is not a high-volume commodity—it's a professional-specification tool.

Professional Positioning
