Fixman 1/4" Drive Hex Bit Socket 3mm H3
At a Glance: 3mm H3 hex bit socket with 1/4" drive for tightening and loosening compatible internal hex and Allen fasteners
The Fixman FIX J0801 1/4" drive hex bit socket is designed for tightening and loosening compatible 3mm internal hex fasteners. The H3 hex profile fits suitable Allen-style socket screws, while the 1/4" square drive allows the bit socket to be used with compatible ratchets, handles and extension bars. Its compact size makes it useful for workshop, automotive, machinery, appliance, furniture, assembly and maintenance applications.
The hex bit socket combines a 3mm Allen-style bit with a 1/4" square drive connection. This allows compatible internal hex fasteners to be turned with a ratchet or handle, providing improved control and easier access compared with a standard loose hex key in many applications.
