FAQs

What material are these M12 Ribe bits made from?

The bits are manufactured from S2 steel, known for its high strength and durability.

What is the length of these bits?

Each bit has a total length of 30mm.

What size is the hex end of the bit?

The bits feature a 10mm hex end.

How many bits are included in this pack?

This pack contains 5 M12 Ribe bits.

Can these bits be used with any type of driver?

These bits are designed for M12 Ribe fasteners and require a driver with a 10mm hex input, such as a compatible ratchet or impact wrench.

Are these bits suitable for impact wrenches?

Yes, their S2 steel construction makes them suitable for use with impact wrenches, provided the tool's torque is appropriate for the fastener and the bit is properly seated.

What are M12 Ribe bits used for?

M12 Ribe bits are used for driving M12 fasteners that have a Ribe (12-point internal) drive type, commonly found in automotive and machinery applications.

Troubleshooting

Bit does not fit the fastener securely.

Verify that the fastener is indeed an M12 Ribe type and not a different spline or hex size. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the fastener recess.

Bit slips or cams out during use.

Confirm you are using the correct M12 Ribe bit size. Apply steady, even pressure directly in line with the fastener. Ensure the drive tool is properly seated on the bit's hex end.

Difficulty reaching the fastener.

The 30mm length is intended for shorter reach applications. For deeper fasteners, consider using an extension bar with your drive tool or a longer Ribe bit if available.

Bit appears worn or damaged after minimal use.

Inspect for excessive force or improper alignment during use. Ensure the drive tool is providing adequate torque for the fastener without over-stressing the bit. Contact the manufacturer if damage is suspected due to a defect.
