Description

Hex Bit 10mm x 8mm Hex Drive - Precision Machined Steel Adapter

Brief Overview

This machined steel hex bit bridges a common size gap in your socket and driver bit inventory. With a 10mm hexagonal shank mating to an 8mm hex tip, it functions as a reliable adapter for applications requiring size reduction. The crisp machining and chamfered edges ensure consistent engagement without rounding or cam-out. Stock this alongside compatible 10mm hex driver bits in various lengths and 8mm hex drive options to provide your customers with complete socket system flexibility.

Key Features

  • Machined Steel Construction: Gray steel with visible precision machining lines; durable finish resistant to wear
  • Dual Hex Profile: 10mm hexagonal shank with 8mm hexagonal tip for direct size conversion
  • Chamfered Edges: Clean, beveled tip geometry prevents edge damage and ensures tight engagement
  • Compact Design: Minimal length for use in restricted spaces and tight fastening angles
  • Stamped Marking: Manufacturer identification ("A-H80E" marking) for easy tracking and reorder

Why This Adapter Matters for Your Business

For distributors stocking socket systems, this adapter solves a real problem: customers often need to work with fasteners requiring smaller-than-standard drive sizes. Rather than forcing a mismatched bit or purchasing an entirely new socket set, they reach for an adapter like this one.

Reseller Advantages:

  • High Margin Item: Adapters command strong markups relative to material cost
  • Repeat Orders: Customers frequently misplace or wear adapters—reliable demand stream
  • System Completion: Increases average transaction value when sold alongside full socket sets
  • No Obsolescence: Timeless tool with stable market demand
