Socket bit AWTools 1/4" hex short 11 mm AW38110BL Black Line

Short 1/4" hex socket bit from AWTools Black Line, 11 mm size, designed for use with 1/4" drive ratchets and bit holders. The compact construction provides reliable engagement with hex fasteners in confined or recessed areas where a standard-length socket would be impractical. The Black Line finish offers surface protection and clear visual identification among other workshop tools.

Advantages

The socket bit combines a short profile with a precisely machined 11 mm hex geometry to ensure firm contact with fastener faces and minimize rounding. Its 1/4" hex shank fits common ratchet heads and bit adapters, enabling quick interchangeability and straightforward use. The robust material and protective finish are intended to withstand repeated torque cycles typical in maintenance and assembly work.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs in confined engine bays and accessory compartments
• Furniture and equipment assembly where access is limited
• Routine maintenance and general repair tasks
• Use with bit holders, ratchet adapters and compact driver tools

Key specifications

• Drive type: 1/4" hex shank compatible with 1/4" drive tools
• Tip size: 11 mm hex
• Length: short profile suitable for tight spaces
• Finish: Black Line protective coating
• Material: hardened tool steel for durability and wear resistance

How to use

Insert the 1/4" hex shank into a compatible bit holder, ratchet adapter or compact driver and ensure it seats fully. Position the 11 mm hex tip onto the fastener, applying steady axial pressure to maintain engagement, then turn the tool in the required direction to tighten or loosen the fastener. Inspect the bit periodically for wear or damage and replace if the hex faces show rounding or deformation.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket bit with appropriately rated tools and avoid applying impact-style loads if not intended for struck use. Select a bit length that provides sufficient clearance for hand or tool movement while maintaining firm contact with the fastener. Store in a dry place to preserve the finish and check compatibility with fastener grade before applying high torque.
