Wiha Hex Quarter Inch Drive Socket 6-Inch Long, 3/16-Inch – Precision

Description

Product Overview

The Wiha Hex Quarter Inch Drive Socket is engineered for demanding applications where reach and precision matter. Measuring 6 inches in overall length, this socket provides the extra leverage needed to engage fasteners located deep within assemblies, while the 3/16‑inch tip matches standard hex drive screws for a secure, slip‑free connection. Crafted from hardened steel, the socket resists wear, deformation, and corrosion, ensuring consistent performance over years of heavy use. The hex geometry is machined to tight tolerances, delivering a snug fit that minimizes cam‑out and maximizes torque transfer. This tool is part of Wiha’s renowned line of professional hand tools, recognized for their durability, ergonomic design, and exacting standards.
