Tekton SHB13406 Long Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Mm

Product Description

The TEKTON SHB13406 is a long hex bit socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It accepts a 6 mm hex fastener and provides an overall length of 5.9 inches, giving technicians added reach in recessed or deep-access fastener locations. This socket is a practical hand tool for mechanics, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals who regularly work with hex-head bolts, cap screws, and socket head fasteners in tight quarters. The extended length distinguishes it from standard-depth hex bit sockets and reduces the need for adapters in many common applications.

This socket fits residential and commercial service work wherever 3/8 inch drive tooling is standard. It is suited for automotive, mechanical, HVAC equipment, and general maintenance tasks that involve 6 mm hex fasteners in hard-to-reach locations. The long format is especially useful when fasteners are set deep inside equipment housings, brackets, or structural assemblies where a short-pattern socket would not reach.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive for compatibility with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 6 mm hex bit size for metric hex-head and socket head cap screw fasteners
• 5.9 inch overall length for extended reach in deep or recessed fastener locations
• Long-pattern design reduces the need for extension adapters in many applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard long hex bit socket for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches requiring a 6 mm hex bit.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket by hand before applying drive force to confirm proper seating on the fastener. Always ensure the drive square is fully engaged with the ratchet or extension before applying torque. Do not use impact drivers with sockets not rated for impact use. Follow applicable equipment service procedures and torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer.
