Tekton SHB22206 Hex Bit Socket 1/2 in Drive 1/4 in Hex

Product Description

The TEKTON SHB22206 is a 1/2 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving 1/4 inch hex fasteners in professional and trade applications. With an overall length of 2.2 inches, this socket provides the reach needed for recessed or tight-clearance fastener locations. It connects to any standard 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench, making it a direct-fit tool for mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who regularly encounter hex-drive hardware. The compact, single-piece construction delivers consistent torque transfer to hex fasteners without adapter stacking.

This hex bit socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 1/4 inch hex fasteners appear on equipment panels, junction boxes, access covers, and mechanical assemblies. It is a practical addition to a 1/2 inch drive socket set for any trade technician who needs a reliable, dedicated hex bit socket rather than a separate bit-and-adapter combination. Package quantity is one socket per unit.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive ratchet or torque wrench is set to the correct torque specification for the fastener being driven before use. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before applying load to avoid rounding the hex drive. Keep the socket seated fully on the fastener to maintain proper engagement throughout the turning operation.
