Hex key Proline 8 mm — 1 pc (model 48467)

The Proline 8 mm hex key (model 48467) is a single metric Allen key designed for engaging 8 mm internal-hex fasteners. Made of quenched and tempered steel with a polished chromium finish, this tool provides the rigidity and surface resistance required for light to medium assembly, maintenance and repair jobs. Its compact, one-piece design makes it suitable for workshop tool sets, on-site repairs and occasional household tasks.

Advantages

The heat-treated construction increases hardness and reduces the risk of bending or rounding under torque. The polished chromium finish improves corrosion resistance and facilitates cleaning after use. The one-piece format ensures consistent alignment between the tip and the shaft for reliable engagement with hex sockets.

Suitable for

• Assembling and tightening furniture that uses 8 mm hex bolts
• Bicycle maintenance where 8 mm internal-hex fasteners are present
• Light machinery and equipment repairs requiring an 8 mm Allen key
• General workshop and field service tasks with metric hex bolts

Key specifications

• Size: 8 mm metric hex key
• Quantity: 1 piece
• Material treatment: quenched and tempered steel
• Surface finish: polished chromium
• Design: one-piece L-shaped hex key (Allen key) suitable for internal-hex fasteners

How to use

Insert the short or long arm of the hex key into the internal hex recess of the fastener to obtain the desired leverage. Turn clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. Apply steady, even force to avoid stripping the socket; use the longer arm for increased leverage when higher torque is required and the shorter arm for confined spaces.

Usage recommendations

Inspect fastener sockets for dirt or damage before use. Use proper hand force and, if a power-assisted driver is required, select a compatible hex bit rather than applying excessive torque with the hand tool. Store the hex key in a dry place to preserve the polished chromium finish and prevent surface corrosion.
