Description

Hex Bit 10mm Shank, 38mm Length, TX45 Torx Profile

Brief Overview

This is a precision hex driver bit engineered for professional mechanics and assembly technicians who work with TX45 Torx fasteners. The 10mm hexagonal shank fits standard hex socket holders and power drill chucks, while the 38mm overall length provides compact handling in confined spaces. The tamper-resistant TX45 star profile ensures positive engagement and minimizes cam-out during high-torque fastening operations. For distributors stocking a complete Torx range, consider pairing this with compatible higher-torque TX50 alternatives or extended-length hex bits to broaden your product offering.

Key Features

  • TX45 Tamper-Resistant Profile: Star-shaped Torx design with radial grooves and central feature prevents accidental disengagement and provides superior grip on specialty security fasteners
  • 10mm Hexagonal Shank: Direct fit for universal hex socket holders, power drills, and manual bit drivers—no adapter required
  • Compact 38mm Length: Optimized for working in tight engine bays, electronics assemblies, and enclosed machinery without extended reach
  • Matte Metallic Finish: Corrosion-resistant grey coating ensures durability in workshop and field environments
  • Precision-Stamped Design: Uniform material distribution and chamfered edges reduce edge cracking and extend tool life
