Carlyle 1/4 Drive T8 Star Bit Long 114mm (CS14LT8)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS14LT8

A long-reach T8 star bit on a 1/4 inch drive, 114mm long, for small star screws at the bottom of a deep hole or behind a lip that stops a short bit socket. S2 steel tip, mirror polished chrome body and a knurled band so you can spin it in by hand.

Good to know

• When do I need the long one? When the screw sits deep in a recess or behind a bracket, the extra length keeps the ratchet head clear of the obstruction. For screws out in the open, a short bit is easier to hold square.
• Why does a long bit slip more easily? The longer shaft is harder to keep in line. Support the socket end with your free hand and keep pushing it into the head as you turn.
• Is this a tamper bit? No. The T8 tip is solid, so it will not enter a star screw that has a pin in the centre.

Which one?

For long star bits in other sizes, the Carlyle 12 Piece Long Torx Socket Set T8 – T60 (CBSLT12) runs from T8 to T60. If you don't need the reach, the short CS14T8 is the standard T8.
