TEKTON 1/4 Inch Drive 3 mm Long Hex Bit Socket (SHB03300)

The TEKTON 1/4 inch drive long hex bit socket is designed for enhanced engagement with fasteners, featuring slightly chamfered edges and a smooth face. It offers an extended reach of 2.4 inches compared to standard bit sockets, making it ideal for accessing deep or recessed areas. This socket provides a permanent connection as the bit is pressed directly into the socket, ensuring it remains securely in place over time and under stress. Constructed from 6140 chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) steel, the socket is heat-treated to achieve a hardness rating of 40.5–47.5 HRC, while the S2 steel bit is heat-treated to 57–63 HRC, providing shock resistance and maintaining its geometry under stress. The exterior boasts a corrosion-resistant chrome plating that wipes clean to a mirror finish. Large, stamped markings are permanently impressed into the material using a roll-stamp die, ensuring clarity with deep outlines for easy size identification. Detent grooves and beveled edges enhance the connection between the socket and drive tool, allowing for smooth operation.
