Description

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

Brief Overview

This is a dedicated RIBE (Polydrive) socket designed specifically for FIAT engine cylinder head bolt applications. The M10 x 140mm length provides the reach required for deep-set fasteners, while the 1/2-inch square drive ensures compatibility with standard ratchets and pneumatic tools. The S2 steel bit resists deformation under high torque, making this an essential addition to any European automotive shop. Consider pairing this with a comprehensive RIBE insert bits set for full fastener coverage across FIAT models.

Key Features

  • RIBE (Polydrive) Profile: Multi-lobed tip design matches FIAT OEM fastener geometry, preventing cam-out and bit slippage
  • S2 Tool Steel Construction: Superior hardness and impact resistance compared to standard steel; marked "S2 RT10" for traceability
  • Extended Length (140mm): Reaches recessed cylinder head bolts without extension adapters
  • 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Direct compatibility with half-inch ratchets, impact wrenches, and torque wrenches
  • Knurled Socket Grip: Textured band improves handling and reduces accidental drops during assembly

Business Advantages for Resellers

Shop Loyalty & Repeat Orders: FIAT specialists will recognize this as a must-stock item. Cylinder head work is recurring maintenance—mechanics return for replacements and complementary tools.

Margin Opportunity: RIBE sockets command higher margins than generic bits due to specialized application and lower volume availability.

Cross-Selling Potential: Pair with VAG-specific RIBE variants or the full polydrive socket collection to capture larger basket orders from European marque specialists.

Bulk Ordering Advantage: Professional shops doing fleet or contract maintenance on FIAT vehicles will order multiples for tool redundancy and faster job completion.

Why This Matters

RIBE fasteners demand precision—inferior profiles round out quickly, leading to stripped bolts and costly rework. This S2 steel socket resists the deformation that budget alternatives suffer under the torque loads of cylinder head assembly. For shops handling FIAT service work, stocking this item signals expertise and eliminates customer delays from "waiting for the right tool."

The 140mm length is intentional; standard socket depths fall short on FIAT cylinder head applications, forcing mechanics to improvise with extensions. This socket solves that problem directly.

Stock this for professional FIAT specialists. Margin is solid, and repeat orders are predictable.
