It accepts a 3\/8 inch drive and fits 10 mm hex fasteners. The ball-end tip allows engagement at off-axis angles, making it useful when straight access to a fastener is restricted. Overall length is 6 inches, with a 5-inch bit length that provides extended reach into recessed or deep fastener locations. Constructed from steel with a chrome finish, this socket is built for repeated shop and field use by licensed mechanics and trade technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where 10 mm hex fasteners are common, including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies. The long ball-end configuration is particularly effective in tight quarters where a standard straight hex bit socket cannot be driven square to the fastener. It fits any 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, extension bar, or T-handle in a standard socket set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall-end tip allows off-axis driving up to typical ball-end engagement angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and T-handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 mm hex size for common metric fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length with 5-inch bit for extended reach into deep fastener recesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with chrome finish for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-pattern design reduces repositioning in confined or obstructed spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with any standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or handle, and fits 10 mm hex-head fasteners in hand-tool applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove using a 3\/8 inch drive ratchet or T-handle; ensure the fastener is fully seated in the bit before applying torque to avoid cam-out. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical or HVAC components. Inspect the socket for wear or cracking before each use and replace if the hex profile shows deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long Ball End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45970\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696443130162,"sku":"45970","price":46.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01385299862755e0d9d79085c46116dc.jpg?v=1788342729","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sk-45970-hand-hex-bit-socket-3-8-in-drive-10-mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
