Tekton SHB03200 Hex Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive 3 Mm Hex

Product Description

The TEKTON SHB03200 is a 1/4 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving 3 mm internal hex fasteners. At 1.5 inches overall length, it fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The compact profile makes it suitable for fasteners in confined spaces where a full-length driver bit or L-key cannot reach. Mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and general service technicians use this socket when working with hex-head set screws, machine bolts, and equipment panels that call for metric hex drive access.

This socket is a practical addition to any metric hex socket set for light-duty assembly and disassembly tasks. It suits residential and commercial service work involving panel fasteners, valve packing nuts, equipment covers, and similar 3 mm hex drive applications. The 1/4 inch drive size pairs with a wide range of common hand tools already found in most service vans and shop tool sets.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch drive interface compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and adapters
• 3 mm hex bit tip for metric internal hex fasteners
• 1.5 inch overall length for access in moderately confined spaces
• Compact 0.7 inch width keeps clearance requirements low
• Sold individually for single-size replacement or addition to an existing set

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standalone addition for use with any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, or extension bar requiring a 3 mm hex bit socket.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified technician should confirm fastener size before applying torque to avoid rounding hex recesses. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive tool before use. Inspect the hex tip for wear before each use, particularly on high-cycle applications.
