Hex screwdriver bit NEO tools 10-972, metric 6 mm

NEO tools 10-972 is a metric hex screwdriver bit with a 6 mm tip and 30 mm length designed to drive and loosen hex-head fasteners. Made from S2 steel for enhanced toughness, this bit is compatible with standard bit holders and power drivers, providing a precise fit for 6 mm hex sockets. Supplied as a set of two pieces, the 6 x 30 mm HEX tip is suitable for professional workshops, service stations and home toolboxes where metric hex bits are required for assembly, maintenance and repair tasks.

Advantages

The S2 steel construction offers greater durability and resistance to wear compared with ordinary tool steels, helping maintain tip geometry during repeated use. The 6 mm metric profile ensures an accurate fit into hex sockets and fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage. The 30 mm length provides sufficient reach for recessed screws while remaining compact enough for use with standard bit holders and compact drivers. Supplied as a two-piece set, it ensures you have a spare or a second tip for parallel tasks.

Suitable for

• Driving and loosening 6 mm metric hex screws in mechanical assemblies
• Repair and maintenance of automotive, machinery and electronic equipment
• Furniture assembly and adjustment where hex fasteners are used
• Use with manual bit holders, ratchets or compatible impact and cordless drivers

Key specifications

• Tip type: 6 mm metric hex (HEX)
• Tip length: 30 mm
• Set quantity: 2 pieces
• Material: S2 tool steel
• Compatibility: standard 1/4" hex bit holders and drivers

How to use

Insert the 6 mm hex bit into a compatible bit holder, chuck or driver until it seats securely. Align the hex tip with the fastener head and apply steady axial pressure while turning the driver clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen. For recessed screws, use the 30 mm length to reach the fastener while keeping the driver axis straight to avoid cam‑out. Inspect the tip for wear before use and replace the bit when signs of rounding or heavy wear appear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate torque settings on powered drivers to avoid over-tightening; for impact drivers, confirm the bit and fastener are rated for impact use. Store bits in a dry toolbox or holder to prevent corrosion and keep spare bits for uninterrupted work.
