Socket Bahco 6700SM-10 Standard length 1/4" drive

The BAHCO 6700SM-10 Standard length 1/4" drive socket is a compact metric socket intended for precision fastening tasks. At 24.7 mm length and weighing approximately 15 g, this socket combines a short profile with a 1/4" square drive to fit tight spaces and light-duty assemblies. Machined to fit metric fasteners, it is suited to situations where access depth is limited and controlled torque application is required.

Advantages

This socket features a short, standard length that improves access in confined areas while maintaining good engagement with fastener heads. Its lightweight construction reduces user fatigue during repetitive work and makes it easy to carry in a tool kit. The 1/4" square drive provides compatibility with a wide range of ratchets, bit holders and extensions commonly used in precision mechanical, electronics and automotive trim work. Durability and dimensional accuracy contribute to reliable performance and consistent fit over repeated use.

Suitable for

• Precision mechanical assembly and adjustment
• Electronics and small-appliance repair
• Automotive interior, trim and dashboard fasteners
• Maintenance tasks in confined or shallow recesses

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" square drive
• Length: 24.7 mm (standard/short profile)
• Weight: approximately 15 g
• Compatible fastener system: metric sockets
• Material and finish: engineered for durability and accuracy (tool-grade steel with protective surface treatment)

How to use

Select the metric socket size that matches the fastener head. Attach the socket securely to a 1/4" ratchet, T-handle or extension using the square drive. Position the socket straight onto the fastener head to ensure full engagement, then apply steady turning force. For tasks in tight or shallow recesses, use short extensions or a compact ratchet to maintain control. After use, clean debris from the socket and store in a protective case to preserve fit and finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for 1/4" drive to avoid overloading. Avoid applying excessive impact force intended for larger drive sizes. Periodically inspect for wear and remove burrs or contamination that could impair fit. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and ensure consistent performance when precision and access are required.
