Hex Key (Allen Wrench) Bondhus 8.0 mm, length 162 mm

Bondhus Hex Key (Allen Wrench) 8.0 mm, length 162 mm is a solid metal hand tool designed for applying manual torque to 8 mm hex fasteners. The straight 162 mm shaft increases reach to access recessed or hard-to-reach bolts while the precisely formed hex tip fits securely into fastener heads to reduce rounding. The compact, single-piece design provides a reliable connection between user and fastener for assembly, maintenance and repair tasks in automotive, machinery and furniture work.

Advantages

The Bondhus 8.0 mm hex key offers accurate hex geometry for consistent engagement with fasteners and improved resistance to cam-out. Its 162 mm length gives extended reach compared with standard short keys, enabling work in deep recesses without auxiliary extensions. Manufactured from durable alloy steel, the tool transmits manual torque efficiently and resists wear during repeated use. The straight-shaft profile allows simple leverage and controlled turning in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Driving and removing 8 mm hex-head bolts and screws
• Assembly and disassembly of machinery and mechanical components
• Automotive maintenance tasks where extended reach is required
• Furniture assembly and repair where recessed fasteners are present

Key specifications

• Size: 8.0 mm hex tip
• Overall length: 162 mm (straight shaft)
• Material: hardened alloy steel (heat-treated for durability)
• Tip style: precisely machined hex profile for secure fit
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment

How to use

Insert the 8.0 mm hex tip fully into the fastener head to ensure correct engagement before applying torque. Use the longer 162 mm shaft to reach recessed fasteners; position your hand to apply steady, controlled force. For higher torque needs, use the long arm as a lever while keeping the wrist aligned to avoid slipping. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a tool rack or pouch to protect the tip and maintain fit accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use the Bondhus 8.0 mm hex key for manual turning only; avoid applying impact force or using the key with cheater bars beyond recommended manual leverage. Select the correct size to prevent fastener rounding and inspect the tip for wear before precision work.
