Description

Double-Ended H3 Hex Driver Bit with 1/4-Inch Hex Shank

This is a professional-grade double-ended hex driver bit built for speed and reliability in high-volume fastening operations. The H3 profile (3mm hex tip) makes it ideal for small to medium fasteners commonly found in assembly, maintenance, and light manufacturing work. The dual-ended design maximizes bit life by offering two working surfaces—rotate the bit to use the opposite end when one becomes worn or damaged. If you're working across multiple hex sizes, you may also want to consider the smaller H2.5 hex bit or the larger H5 option to cover your full fastening range.

Key Features

  • Double-ended design: Two usable ends per bit, extending tool life and reducing consumable costs
  • H3 hex profile: 3mm hex tip sized for standard small-to-medium fasteners
  • 1/4-inch hex shank: Compatible with standard 1/4-inch quick-change bit holders and power drivers
  • Black oxide finish: Hardened steel with corrosion-resistant black oxide coating for durability in shop and field conditions
  • Secure hex mounting: Hexagonal flats on the grip section provide positive seating in chuck systems and manual holders

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Cost-per-use reduction: Two working ends per bit lower your consumable cost versus single-ended alternatives
  • Quick inventory turnover: H3 is one of the most frequently used hex sizes in automotive and assembly shops
  • Bulk order efficiency: Easily stock and reorder in quantity without overcommitting to niche sizes
  • Cross-sell opportunity: Pair with Phillips PH2 bits and Pozidriv options to offer complete driver-bit portfolios to your customers

Why This Bit Works

The H3 is the workhorse of precision fastening. It's small enough for electronics and tight assemblies, yet robust enough for repeated automotive use. The double-ended format is pure economics—your shop gets two bits for the price of one, and the bit holder doesn't need to be changed between ends. The black oxide finish resists corrosion, meaning less downtime and more reliable performance across humid or demanding environments.

Stock this bit in volume. It moves quickly in shops that depend on consistent, repeatable fastening. The H3 size paired with quick-change compatibility makes it an essential item for any reseller targeting professional automotive, maintenance, and assembly channels.
