Question 1

What is the SATA SC80114A Extra Long Ball Point Hex Key 8mm and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

It's an extra-long 8mm hex key with a ball-point tip designed to access fasteners in tight or recessed spaces. The extended length provides improved leverage and reach, making it easier to work in awkward angles.

Question 2

How does the ball point design improve usability?

Accepted Answer

The ball point tip allows entry at angled positions, enabling up to about 25 degrees of tilt when guiding the key into fasteners. This makes it easier to reach fasteners that aren’t perfectly aligned.

Question 3

What are the main materials and finishes used for this key?

Accepted Answer

The key is made from high-strength Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel and features a corrosion-resistant coating to enhance durability and tool life, especially in challenging environments.

Question 4

How long is 'extra long' for this hex key?

Accepted Answer

Its extended length offers up to 30% more reach than standard hex keys, providing better access and leverage for stubborn or deep-set fasteners.

Question 5

What fastener sizes does it fit and how secure is the fit?

Accepted Answer

This key has an 8mm hex tip, designed to fit fasteners precisely, reducing the risk of stripping and enhancing torque transfer for reliable performance.

Question 6

What are the ideal use cases for this tool?

Accepted Answer

It's versatile for automotive, machinery, and furniture assembly tasks—any scenario where you need to reach deep or tight fasteners with a solid grip and leverage.

Question 7

How should I use this hex key in tight spaces?

Accepted Answer

Insert the 8mm ball-point tip and apply torque while steering the key at a slight angle (up to about 25 degrees) to accommodate obstructions. The chamfered tips help with quicker insertion, and the ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue.

Question 8

How should I care for and maintain this hex key?

Accepted Answer

Wipe clean after use and keep the tool dry to maximize the corrosion-resistant coating. Store it in a dry, organized tool set to prevent contact with humidity or corrosive substances.
