Apex 80166 Hex Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80166 is a 1/4 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended tool life. The hex bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, providing high strength and resistance to cam-out under torque. At 1.53 inches in length and 0.05 pounds, this compact socket is suited for tight-access fastening tasks in mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service work where hex-head fasteners are common.

This bit socket is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial service environments. It fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and flex handles. The 6 MM hex size covers a range of common internal hex fasteners found on equipment panels, access covers, and mechanical assemblies encountered during routine service and installation work.
