Metric 8 mm Hex L-Handle
The Wiha Tools 13658 is a single-tip metric hex key designed for fastening 8 mm socket-head screws. Its insulated, corrosion-resistant chrome finish suits electrical and maintenance tasks where non-magnetic tools are required. The short length family keeps the tool compact for confined access. It is not for buyers who need multiple tip sizes or a ball-end driver for angled engagement.
Insulated Chrome Construction
The HAWA-material shaft is insulated and corrosion resistant, so it withstands exposure to moisture and chemicals without degrading. A non-magnetic surface prevents attraction of ferrous debris during assembly. The chrome plating adds surface hardness while maintaining the non-sparking property noted in the specifications. No moving parts or joints mean there is nothing to loosen or rattle in use.
Long Arm Leverage
The long arm measures 5 57/64 in, giving extended reach and leverage for sustained torque on tight fixings. The short arm is 1.375 mm, providing a compact option when clearance is limited. Because the tool is a solid L-shape with a single 8 mm tip, it delivers consistent force without the play found in folding or multi-bit sets. It is not for applications requiring a tether point or a non-sparking rating.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 8 mm hex tip into a fastener without rounding the corners?
Insert the long arm fully into the socket so the 8 mm hex seats squarely; the short arm at 1.375 mm gives leverage but can slip if not fully engaged.
Will the chrome finish or insulation need replacement over time?
Chrome resists corrosion and the insulation is bonded to the handle; neither is a wear item, so no scheduled replacement is required.
At what torque does the short arm start to flex under sustained load?
The 1.375 mm short arm provides limited leverage; high sustained torque will flex it before the long arm or 8 mm tip shows stress.
