Why This Bit Matters

Slotted fasteners remain common in precision electronics, appliances, and retrofit work. An 8mm blade is the workhorse size for mid-range screws. The hex shank eliminates socket-to-bit wobble, ensuring consistent bit seating and reducing cam-out on damaged fastener heads. The compact 30mm length keeps your technicians' hand position controlled, critical for PCB assembly and confined-space work.

Stock this alongside your torx and hex-drive bits—shops that service diverse equipment need the full lineup to capture every job.
