Product Description

The MALCO rrw316 is a 3/16-inch hex key insert designed for use with Malco Refrigeration Ratchet Wrenches. It features a 1/4-inch square drive shank, making it compatible with any Malco refrigeration ratchet wrench handle. The insert provides a smooth ratcheting action that simplifies servicing valves in tight, hard-to-reach locations. With an overall length of 2-3/16 inches and a 3/4-inch tip length, it is well-suited for confined spaces commonly found in air conditioning and refrigeration condensing units.
