1/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Short Hand Socket, 4mm to 14mm

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive short hand socket set delivers the precision and durability your shop needs for fastener work on small assemblies, electronics, and tight-tolerance applications. The six-point (hex) profile maximizes contact with fastener corners, reducing the risk of rounding and cam-out—a critical advantage in professional environments where tool damage costs money. The compact short-hand design provides excellent reach into confined spaces while maintaining the control your technicians demand. Available in individual sizes from 4mm to 14mm, these sockets are engineered for daily shop use and high-volume resale. Consider pairing with complementary metric socket sets to expand your catalog coverage.
