Question 1

What is the SATA GL80114A Extra Long Ball Point Hex Key 8mm and what makes it different?

Accepted Answer

The SATA GL80114A is an extra-long 8mm hex key with a ball point tip. It combines longer reach and leverage with a ball-end design that allows angled insertion, a precise fit for a solid grip, chamfered tips for faster insertion, and a corrosion-resistant chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) steel construction for durability.

Question 2

How long is the extra length and why does that matter?

Accepted Answer

It’s up to 30% longer than standard hex keys, providing extended reach to access deep or recessed fasteners and enabling better leverage to apply torque in tight spaces.

Question 3

What is the benefit of the ball point design?

Accepted Answer

The ball point tip lets you enter fasteners at angles, up to about 25 degrees, which improves maneuverability and makes it easier to engage fasteners in cramped or awkward spots.

Question 4

What materials and finish are used for this key?

Accepted Answer

It’s made from high-strength chrome vanadium steel (Cr-V) with a corrosion-resistant coating to extend tool life in challenging environments.

Question 5

What size is this hex key and what fasteners does it fit?

Accepted Answer

The tool has an 8mm hex tip and fits 8mm hex fasteners.

Question 6

What are typical use cases for this tool?

Accepted Answer

It’s ideal for automotive work, machinery maintenance, and furniture assembly where access is limited and an extended reach plus angled entry helps you reach stubborn or deep-set fasteners.

Question 7

How should I use this hex key safely and effectively?

Accepted Answer

Insert the tip squarely into the fastener, apply steady, controlled torque, and keep the entry angle within the ball-end limit (about 25 degrees). Do not use it as a pry tool or in impact tools, and wear proper eye and hand protection as needed.

Question 8

How do I maintain this tool to maximize its life?

Accepted Answer

Wipe it clean after use, keep it dry, apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, and store it in a dry toolbox. Regularly inspect the tip for wear and replace if it becomes rounded or damaged.

Question 9

Are there safety or compliance considerations I should keep in mind?

Accepted Answer

Always use the correct size to avoid damaging fasteners, avoid exceeding rated torque, and keep the tool away from children. Use in appropriate conditions and with PPE as needed.

Question 10

What other sizes are available in the SATA extra-long ball-point hex key range, and how do they compare?

Accepted Answer

If you need alternatives, consider these nearby sizes from the same family: 9mm option SATA GL80115A, 7mm option SATA GL80113A, and 6mm option SATA GL80112A.

Question 11

Why should I choose an extra-long ball-end hex key over a standard one?

Accepted Answer

The extra length increases reach and leverage for hard-to-reach fasteners, while the ball-end enables angled insertion to reduce stripping and slipping in tight spots, making it especially useful in automotive and machinery tasks.

Question 12

Can this tool be used with other tool systems or brands?

Accepted Answer

This hex key is a standalone 8mm Cr-V ball-end key designed for standard hex fasteners. For best results, pair it with compatible drivers or organizers from SATA’s range, and keep it dedicated to hex fastener applications to preserve its tip integrity.
