Drive Shaft Bolt Socket M8 800mm 1/2in Drive for Audi VW

A drive shaft bolt socket made for Audi and VW VAG applications where an extra-long reach is needed. It combines an M8 spline bit with an 800mm length and 1/2in drive, giving access to drive shaft bolts that are awkward to reach with a standard socket bit.

Used for vehicle maintenance, servicing and repair work on compatible VAG models, this type of socket is suited to garage work as well as experienced home mechanics carrying out driveline jobs. When working around hubs, shafts and recessed fasteners, the long reach helps you get onto the fixing more directly without relying on improvised extensions.

The bit is made from S2 steel with a chrome vanadium socket body, based on the supplied specification. The 800mm length is the main practical feature here, giving added reach where access is restricted and helping when standard-length spline bits are too short for the job. The 1/2in drive fit suits common ratchets and breaker bars used for vehicle repair work. For regular servicing and drivetrain work, having the correct M8 spline profile close to hand helps avoid rounding or damaging the fastener through poor tool choice.
