Question 1

What is the SATA GL80312A Extra Long Hex Key 6mm and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

The SATA GL80312A is an extra-long 6mm hex (Allen) key designed to access fasteners that are deep or hard to reach. Its extended shaft provides more leverage and reach, making it ideal for automotive, machinery, and general maintenance tasks where standard-length keys can’t reach.

Question 2

What makes this hex key 'extra long' and why is that helpful?

Accepted Answer

Its shaft length is up to 30% longer than standard hex keys, giving you greater access to deep-set fasteners and improved leverage for tighter torque when needed.

Question 3

What are the material and finishing details of this key?

Accepted Answer

It is constructed from chrome vanadium alloy steel (Cr-V) for strength and durability, with a corrosion-resistant coating to help prevent rust and extend tool life.

Question 4

What does the 'ball point' feature mean and how does it help during use?

Accepted Answer

The ball point (ball-end) hex tip allows for angled access, enabling you to engage fasteners at slight angles where a straight hex end wouldn’t fit.

Question 5

What sizes are available in this line, and is 6mm the only option?

Accepted Answer

This product line includes multiple sizes to fit different fasteners. The GL80312A is the 6mm option, and similar extra-long hex keys in the SATA range come in other sizes to match your specific fastener needs.

Question 6

How should I use this 6mm hex key for best results?

Accepted Answer

Insert the 6mm tip squarely into the fastener, apply steady turning force, and use the extra length for better leverage. When using the ball-end, position the tool at a comfortable angle to reach stubborn or recessed fasteners. Avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping the fastener heads.

Question 7

How does this extra-long key compare to standard-length hex keys?

Accepted Answer

Compared to standard-length keys, the GL80312A offers greater reach and leverage, making it easier to access deep or obstructed fasteners and apply higher torque without bending the shaft.

Question 8

Which other SATA hex keys would be good alternatives if I need a different length or size?

Accepted Answer

If you need a different reach or size, consider these SATA options available on Fepy: SATA GL80313A Extra Long Hex Key 6mm; SATA GL80314A Extra Long Hex Key 7mm; SATA GL80310A Extra Long Hex Key 5mm. It’s best to pick the size and length that matches your fasteners and access constraints.

Question 9

What are common applications for this extra-long hex key?

Accepted Answer

It's well-suited for automotive repairs (engine bays, under-hood components), machinery maintenance, equipment assembly, and any scenario where fasteners are deep or obstructed and require extra reach.

Question 10

How should I care for and store this hex key to maximize longevity?

Accepted Answer

Keep it clean and dry after use, wipe away grease or debris, and store it in a designated tool tray or roll. The protective coating helps resist corrosion, but regular cleaning will extend its life and keep the tip precise.
