Socket bit 3/8" T8 48 mm Proline (ZR58300) with hanging hole

3/8" Socket bit T8, 48 mm length from Proline is a single-piece tool bit designed for engagement with Torx T8 fasteners on a 3/8" drive. The 48 mm overall length provides additional reach into recessed or confined screw locations while maintaining a compact profile for controlled hand or ratchet use. The bit includes a hanging hole that allows straightforward storage on workshop boards or tool hooks.

Advantages

The hardened tip ensures repeatable engagement with T8 Torx heads and resists rounding under typical torque for small fasteners. Compatibility with standard 3/8" drive sockets and extensions allows use with ratchets, torque wrenches and breakaway handles. The 48 mm length balances reach and control to access recessed screws without excessive overhang. The integrated hanging hole simplifies organization and storage at a workstation.

Suitable for

• Automotive and motorcycle small fastener removal and installation
• Electronics assembly and repair requiring Torx T8 engagement
• Workshop tasks where recessed or hard-to-reach T8 screws are present
• Maintenance and assembly operations using 3/8" drive tools

Key specifications

• Torx size: T8
• Drive connection: 3/8"
• Overall length: 48 mm
• Material: hardened steel tip with shank suitable for socket drives
• Feature: hanging hole for storage

How to use

Insert the 3/8" drive end of the socket bit into a compatible ratchet, extension or torque wrench. Place the Torx T8 tip into the matching fastener recess, ensuring full seat before applying torque. Turn the ratchet or wrench with controlled motion appropriate to the fastener and application. For recessed screws, use an appropriate extension to reach the fastener while maintaining alignment. After use, hang the bit by its hole or store it in a socket organizer to prevent loss.

Usage recommendations

Use with properly sized 3/8" drive tools and avoid excessive torque beyond the intended use for small T8 fasteners. Inspect the tip for wear before precision assembly tasks; replace the bit if rounding or deformation is visible. Store on a pegboard or in a labeled socket organizer using the hanging hole to maintain tool readiness.
