Description

Cylinder Head Bolt Socket Tool, Torx E10, 1/2-Inch Drive, 140mm Length

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built Torx E10 socket extension designed specifically for cylinder head bolt applications where precise fastener control and accessibility are critical. The 140mm extended length and slim profile (12mm working width) enable access to recessed or hard-to-reach fastener locations—a common requirement in engine compartment work. The integrated retention collar prevents fastener cam-out and slippage, reducing the risk of stripped fasteners and rework. If you stock larger Torx cylinder head sockets or general-purpose Torx socket sets, this E10 variant fills a specific application gap in your catalog.

Key Features

  • Torx E10 Profile: Precise six-point contact geometry eliminates rounding and slippage on modern engine fasteners.
  • Extended 140mm Length: Reaches fasteners in confined engine compartments and recessed bolt locations.
  • Slim 12mm Working Width: Minimizes bulk; fits into tight spaces where standard deep sockets cannot.
  • 1/2-Inch Drive Connection: Compatible with all 1/2-inch ratchets, torque wrenches, and pneumatic impact tools in professional shops.
  • Retention Collar with Pin/O-Ring: Polished metal collar with cutout design secures the fastener in the socket during removal and installation, preventing accidental ejection.
  • Black Coated Steel Shaft: Durable, corrosion-resistant finish protects against shop environment exposure; chrome-plated socket end ensures longevity.
  • Knurled Grip Band: Textured knurling on the socket base provides secure hand control during manual operation.

Why This Tool Matters in the Shop

Cylinder head bolts demand precision and reliability. The Torx E10 profile provides positive engagement without the risk of hex-key rounding that affects older fastener designs. The extended length is not a luxury—it is a necessity for modern engine layouts where fasteners sit deep within the cylinder head assembly. The retention collar eliminates frustration: fasteners stay seated during the critical removal and installation phases, reducing hand fatigue and the likelihood of dropped fasteners causing engine bay damage.

This socket is not a general-purpose tool; it is a specialized specialist. For shops performing engine work, it becomes indispensable.
