Each socket accepts a replaceable 1\/4 inch hex bit, giving technicians the flexibility to swap out worn bits without replacing the entire socket body. The set covers seven inch-sized hex sizes from 3\/32 inch through 1\/4 inch, addressing the fastener range most commonly encountered in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. All sockets feature a chrome-plated steel construction and mount on a storage rail for organized access. Weighing 0.48 pounds, the complete set is compact enough for a tool bag or service cart drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set suits trade professionals who regularly service equipment secured with ball-end hex fasteners, including HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers accessing equipment panels at off-angle entry points. The ball-end design allows fastener engagement at angles up to approximately 30 degrees off-axis, reducing the need to reposition in tight equipment bays. The replaceable bit design extends service life and lowers long-term tool cost for shops running high service volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-piece set covering 3\/32, 1\/8, 9\/64, 5\/32, 3\/16, 7\/32, and 1\/4 inch hex sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch square drive interface compatible with standard ratchets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall-end hex bit allows off-axis fastener engagement in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaceable 1\/4 inch hex bits reduce cost compared to replacing full sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounted on a storage rail for organized, at-a-glance size selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with any standard 1\/4 inch square drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is a hand tool and requires no installation. Confirm the correct hex size before applying torque to avoid fastener rounding. When using the ball-end engagement feature at an angle, apply steady, controlled force to maintain bit-to-fastener contact. Inspect replaceable bits periodically for wear and replace as needed to prevent slippage on critical fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch square drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Sizes Included\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32, 1\/8, 9\/64, 5\/32, 3\/16, 7\/32, 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Hex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Hex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Hex Bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 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: WIHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 71398\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WIHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698810323250,"sku":"71398","price":76.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d4a66a999ae8a52465331b12a7a4a6ed.jpg?v=1788368280","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/wiha-71398-ball-hex-bit-socket-set-1-4-in-drive-7-pc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
