King Tony Torx Bit T45 10 mm, 36 mm length, model KY163645T

King Tony Torx Bit T45 with a 10 mm hex shank and a 36 mm overall length (model KY163645T) offers a precise Torx T45 profile for secure engagement with T45 fasteners. Manufactured for compatibility with standard 10 mm bit holders, ratchets and impact drivers, this bit is intended for tasks where reliable torque transfer and accurate fit are required. The compact 36 mm length balances accessibility in confined spaces with sufficient reach for common assembly and repair operations.

Advantages

The Torx T45 geometry reduces cam-out and distributes torque across the fastener head for improved drivability and reduced fastener wear. The 10 mm hex shank ensures firm retention in compatible bit holders and quick-change chucks. With a 36 mm overall length, the bit provides a practical combination of reach and control, suitable for handheld and powered tools. The King Tony manufacturing standard emphasizes dimensional accuracy and repeatable fit to Torx fasteners.

Suitable for

• Assembly of equipment and machinery that use T45 fasteners
• Maintenance and repair tasks in automotive, industrial and household applications
• Use with bit holders, ratchets and impact drivers accepting 10 mm hex bits
• Situations requiring reduced cam-out and reliable torque transmission

Key specifications

• Tip profile: Torx T45
• Shank type: 10 mm hex
• Overall length: 36 mm
• Material and finish: hardened steel with protective surface treatment
• Compatibility: standard 10 mm bit holders and quick-change chucks

How to use

Insert the 10 mm hex shank into a compatible bit holder, quick-change chuck or adapter and ensure it seats fully before applying torque. Align the Torx T45 tip with the fastener recess and apply steady axial pressure while turning the tool to reduce the risk of cam-out. For powered drivers, start at low speed to confirm engagement and then apply the required torque. Inspect the bit tip periodically for wear and replace it when rounding or damage is observed to maintain secure fastening.

Usage recommendations

Use the bit with tools rated for the required torque and avoid excessive side loading. For impact driving, confirm the bit and tool are compatible with impact use. Store the bit in a holder or protective case to prevent tip damage and contamination.
