Fixman 1/4 Inch Drive Hex Socket 6mm

At a Glance: Compact 6mm hex socket with 1/4 inch square drive for tightening and loosening compatible 6mm hex-head nuts and fasteners

The Fixman FIX H0105M Hex Socket is designed for use with compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchets, handles and socket accessories. Its 6mm hex profile is suited to matching small hex-head fasteners, making it a practical choice for assembly, maintenance, mechanical repair and general workshop applications. The compact 1/4 inch drive format provides good control when working with smaller fasteners and in confined areas.

6mm hex socket for compatible 1/4 inch drive tools

A hex socket fits over a matching external hex-head nut or bolt and transfers turning force from a ratchet or other socket handle to the fastener. Correctly matching the 6mm socket size to the fastener helps provide secure engagement and reduces the risk of damaging the fastener corners.
