Screwdriver bit King Tony 168008M, 12-spline flange M8, 80 mm length

King Tony 168008M is a 12-spline flange screwdriver bit sized M8 with an 80 mm overall length and a weight of 49 g. It is manufactured for use with compatible bit holders and power or manual drivers where a 12-spline interface is required for engaging spline-head fasteners. The bit is intended for workshop, repair and assembly environments where precise M8 spline engagement is needed.

Advantages

The bit is made from a silicon chrome vanadium alloy (S2) that provides the hardness and wear resistance expected from professional-grade bits. An anti-rust oil finish and sand-blasted surface treatment improve corrosion resistance and reduce surface glare. The SPLINE head geometry ensures secure engagement with spline fasteners and helps reduce cam-out when used with appropriate drivers. Its 80 mm length offers reach in recessed or confined fastening locations.

Suitable for

• Engaging and turning M8 spline-head fasteners
• Use with compatible bit holders, impact drivers and hand drivers
• Workshop assembly and mechanical repair tasks
• Accessing recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive type: 12-spline (SPLINE) flange
• Size: M8
• Length: 80 mm
• Material: silicon chrome vanadium alloy steel (S2)
• Surface treatment: anti-rust oiled, sand-blasted
• Weight: 49 g

How to use

Insert the King Tony 168008M bit into a compatible bit holder or chuck, ensuring a secure fit before applying torque. Align the SPLINE head with the mating M8 spline fastener and apply steady axial pressure while turning to avoid slipping. For power tools, select appropriate torque settings to prevent fastener or bit damage. After use, wipe the bit clean and store it in a protective holder to maintain the anti-rust finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the bit with holders and drivers that match the 12-spline interface and observe tool manufacturer guidelines for torque and impact use. Avoid excessive sideways force and inspect the bit for wear or damage before high-torque applications to ensure reliable engagement and safe operation.
