Proto J47707/64B Hand Hex Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J47707/64B is a ball end hex bit socket designed for hand tool use in fastener-drive applications requiring a 7/64 inch hex fit. Built around a 1/4 inch drive, this socket measures 1.5 inches in overall length with a bit length of 1.047 inches. The ball end geometry allows the socket to engage hex fasteners at an angle, useful when working in tight or offset clearance conditions. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical service work will find this socket suitable for panel fasteners, set screws, and equipment access hardware.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 7/64 inch hex fasteners appear in equipment panels, blower assemblies, motor mounts, and similar applications. The 1/4 inch drive connection pairs with standard ratchets, extensions, and drive handles common in field service kits. The ball end allows engagement at up to approximately 25 degrees off-axis, reducing the need to reposition when fastener access is restricted by adjacent components or enclosure walls.

Key Features

• Ball end design allows off-axis fastener engagement in tight clearance areas
• 7/64 inch hex size fits set screws and panel fasteners common in HVAC and electrical equipment
• 1/4 inch drive connects to standard ratchets and drive handles
• 1.047 inch bit length provides reach past shallow obstructions
• Compact 1.5 inch overall length keeps the tool manageable in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and T-handles in hand tool applications requiring a 7/64 inch hex bit socket.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize equipment and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures before driving or removing fasteners on electrical or HVAC components. Use hand pressure appropriate to the fastener material to avoid stripping. The ball end engagement is suited for hand-drive use and is not intended for high-torque impact applications. Inspect the bit end for wear before each use.
