Description

1/4-Inch Hex Bit Socket 37mm Length, Matte Finish with Knurling

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch hex bit socket delivers reliable fastening performance for precision assembly, electronics work, and general maintenance applications. The 37mm length and knurled grip band make it suitable for both hand-held and power tool use. Available across a complete range from HEX2 through HEX10, this socket works seamlessly alongside Torx bit alternatives for shops needing multi-drive capability.

Key Features

  • Hex drive sizes: HEX2, HEX2.5, HEX3, HEX4, HEX5, HEX6, HEX7, HEX8, and HEX10
  • 1/4-inch drive: Compatible with standard 1/4" drive ratchets, extensions, and power tools
  • 37mm overall length: Balanced reach for confined spaces and standard fastening depth
  • Matte finish: Reduces glare and provides professional appearance; resists corrosion
  • Knurled grip band: Textured midsection ensures secure hand control when torquing manually or applying steady pressure during powered use
  • Chamfered hex tip: Reduces cross-threading and aids rapid bit engagement

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

Turnover & Margin Potential: This socket fills a critical inventory gap. Hex bits are essential for precision work—electronics assembly, jewelry making, model building, and fine mechanical repair. Unlike larger impact tools, these sockets see steady, consistent demand with minimal seasonality.

Bulk Order Strategy: Stock the full HEX2–HEX10 range. Customers rarely buy single sizes; they purchase complete sets or multi-packs for workshop standardization. Offering bulk discounts on assorted packs drives order velocity.

Cross-Sell Opportunity: Pair with Torx bit sockets in the same 37mm format to position your shop as the one-stop source for precision bit work. Customers who buy hex often need Torx next.

Professional Credibility: The matte finish and knurled band signal quality and durability—customers perceive this as industrial-grade, not consumer-grade. This justifies a competitive resale price.
