Socket Polydrive RIBE M10 x 140mm, 1/2-Inch Drive, S2 Steel Bit

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built RIBE socket designed specifically for FIAT engine cylinder head bolt applications. The M10x140mm length and 1/2-inch drive configuration make it the correct specification for accessing and servicing FIAT cylinder head fasteners in tight engine bay conditions. If your shop handles multiple RIBE fastener sizes, consider pairing this with a multi-size RIBE bit set for comprehensive coverage or exploring longer variants for deeper-set fasteners.

Key Features

• RIBE Polydrive Profile: Multi-lobed design prevents cam-out and rounding on FIAT cylinder head bolts
• M10 x 140mm Length: Precisely sized for standard FIAT engine head bolt access
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard ratchets, torque wrenches, and impact tools
• S2 Steel Bit Material: High-carbon steel hardened for repeated fastener engagement without deformation
• Black-Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating extends tool life in workshop environments
• Knurled Grip Zone: Chrome-plated socket head with retention groove for secure attachment to ratchet drives

Business Advantages for Resellers

• Specialized Demand: FIAT service shops require this exact specification—builds customer loyalty and repeat orders
• Technical Credibility: Stocking OEM-correct tools positions your shop as an engine service specialist
• Bulk Order Opportunity: Mechanics working on FIAT fleets will purchase multiple units for different tool kits
• Margin Stability: Niche specialist tools maintain consistent margins with lower price-point competition
• Workshop Essential: Once a mechanic finds the right tool for their FIAT work, they return for replacements and complementary products

Why This Specification Matters

The M10x140mm length is critical for FIAT cylinder head service—too short and you cannot fully engage the fastener; too long and you cannot fit in the engine bay. The S2 steel bit resists the deformation that cheaper alternatives suffer under the torque loads required to properly tighten cylinder head bolts. The RIBE profile is non-negotiable; using an incorrect socket profile on these fasteners results in rounded fasteners and expensive engine damage.
