Tekton SHB02208 Hex Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive 5/16 in Hex

Product Description

The TEKTON SHB02208 is a 1/4 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving hex fasteners in tight spaces where a standard wrench or full-size socket cannot reach. The socket measures 1.5 inches overall length and accepts a 5/16 inch hex bit profile. It connects to any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench. This type of socket is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople who need a compact, reliable hex-driving solution in the field or on the bench.

The SHB02208 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 1/4 inch drive tooling is preferred for smaller fastener sizes. Typical applications include equipment panel fasteners, electrical enclosures, access covers, and mechanical assemblies that use 5/16 inch hex fasteners. Its compact overall length makes it practical for use in confined spaces common in HVAC equipment and plumbing fixture installations.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener. Inspect the hex bit profile for wear before use on critical fasteners. No power tools or special codes are required for hand-tool socket use.
