BGS 2576 3mm Hex Bit Socket - 10mm Drive 48mm Length Chrome Vanadium Tool

About This Product

Mechanics and DIYers, this BGS 3mm hex bit socket is one of those specialized tools you might not need every day, but when you do need it, you'll be so glad you have it! The 3mm internal hex size is perfect for those smaller fasteners that standard sockets can't handle, particularly in electronics, appliances, or precision machinery. The 10mm (3/8 inch) drive is the most common size, making it compatible with most socket sets and ratchets you already own. At 48mm long, it gives you good reach into tight spaces while still being manageable to use. The chrome vanadium steel construction is what you expect from quality tools - durable, resistant to wear, and able to handle reasonable torque without stripping or breaking. The knurled profile provides excellent grip, which is especially helpful when you're working in tight quarters or with greasy hands. I've used this for assembling furniture, working on small engines, and even for some bicycle repairs where the 3mm hex size is common. The precision of the hex opening is spot-on - it fits fasteners snugly without that sloppy feeling that leads to rounded edges. BGS tools have a reputation for good quality at reasonable prices, and this socket maintains that standard. Whether you're a professional mechanic needing that complete socket set or a home DIYer tackling various projects, having the right size hex sockets makes so many jobs easier and prevents damage to fasteners. This one has earned its place in my primary tool set because it just works reliably whenever I need it.
