Wiha 71702 Ball End Hex Insert Bit 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The WIHA 71702 is a ball end hex screwdriver insert bit designed for driving standard hex fasteners in confined or angled workspaces. Built to a 1/4 inch drive size with a 1 inch overall length, this insert bit fits standard 1/4 inch hex power tool and hand driver chucks. The ball end geometry allows engagement at off-axis angles, which is particularly useful when fastener access is restricted by surrounding components. Sized for No. 6 cap screws, it is a compact, single-piece bit suited for precision assembly work in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and control panels.

This insert bit is used across residential and light commercial service applications where hex socket fasteners appear on equipment covers, motor mounts, electrical enclosures, and similar assemblies. The 1 inch overall length keeps the profile low for tight-clearance installations. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers will find this size common when servicing equipment panels and terminal covers that use No. 6 hex cap screws.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or trained service professional as part of routine equipment service.
