Sk 45966 Long Ball End Hex Bit Socket 6 Mm 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The SK 45966 is a long ball end hex bit socket designed for hand tool use in professional and trade service applications. Built with a 3/8 inch drive, it accepts a 6 mm hex bit and features a ball end design that allows engagement at off-axis angles, useful when working in tight or obstructed spaces. The socket has an overall length of 6 inches with a 5 inch bit length, giving technicians extended reach in deep or recessed fastener locations. Constructed from steel with a chrome finish, it is suited for repeated professional use in automotive, mechanical, HVAC, and general maintenance environments.

This socket is intended for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in any application requiring a 6 mm internal hex fastener. The long ball end configuration makes it especially useful when fasteners are not directly accessible and the tool must approach at an angle. Typical install scenarios include equipment panel removal, compressor bracket fasteners, motor mounting hardware, and other confined-space work common to HVAC, refrigeration, and mechanical service.
