MIP Gen 2 8.0mm Metric Nut Driver Wrench Deep Socket RC Tool MIP-9805

The MIP Gen 2 8.0mm Metric Nut Driver is a premium precision hand tool designed for RC maintenance, assembly and tuning. Its deep socket head can reach nuts positioned on longer screws, while the thin-wall design helps access fasteners in confined areas commonly found on RC vehicles.

Manufactured from US-grade tool steel drill blanks, the driver is precision-ground using diamond wheels for excellent accuracy and durability. Gen 2 upgrades include clear laser-etched size markings and a colour-coded identification ring, making the correct tool quick and easy to locate in a busy toolbox.

FAQ

What is the advantage of the deep socket head? The deep socket allows the driver to reach an 8.0mm nut when part of the screw or threaded shaft extends beyond it, where a shallow socket may not engage correctly.

What is the thin-wall socket designed for? Its reduced outer diameter helps the driver reach nuts located inside recessed or confined areas of an RC vehicle.

What improvements are included with MIP Gen 2 tools? Gen 2 tools feature laser-etched size markings and colour-coded identification rings while retaining MIP's precision-ground steel construction, tight tolerances and comfortable acetate handles.

Can this driver be used with an electric drill? No. The MIP-9805 is a manual hand driver and is not designed for installation in a drill or powered driver.

Is this suitable for an 8mm hex screw? This is an 8.0mm socket-style nut driver for external hex nuts and bolt heads. It is not an 8.0mm internal-hex Allen driver.

Important Notes

• Designed for external 8.0mm metric hex nuts and bolt heads.
• Confirm the fastener size before use, as RC vehicles can use both metric and SAE hardware.
• Always seat the socket fully over the fastener before applying torque.
• Do not use the tool with drills, impact drivers or other powered equipment.
• Keep the socket clean and dry to maintain accuracy and maximise service life.
