Zephyr Spanner tip, 5/16” hex insert shank, #8, 1 1/2” overall length.
Zephyr 5/16” Spanner #8 Tamper Resistant Insert Bits Description
Zephyr spanner bits have a security profile with two rectangular pins, otherwise known as ”snake eyes”. The Zephyr spanner bit is unique in most trade and industry. The advantage of this profile is the surface of the screw head, which is broken only by the two small rectangular pins and is otherwise solid. The profile of a spanner bit prevents over-tightening of the screw. Force transmission is associated with high stress concentrations. However, due to the two pins, there is a lower stress on the individual faces. The spanner profile is not suitable for transmitting high torque.
