Tekton long ball end hex bit sockets have a 20 degree angle that increases your ability to access fasteners while still maintaining sufficient strength. The bits are 4 inches longer than our standard length bit sockets, allowing you to reach deep into narrow, recessed areas. The bits are pressed directly into the socket for a permanent connection. The carefully controlled process ensures bits are exceptionally straight, and the tightly mated fit results in a bit that won't loosen over time or under stress. The socket is made from 6140 chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) steel that's heat-treated to 40.5–47.5 HRC. The chrome-plated exterior is highly corrosion-resistant and wipes clean to a mirror finish. The S2 steel bit is heat-treated to 57–63 HRC to resist shocks and maintain geometry under stress. Large, stamped markings are permanently impressed into the material by a roll-stamp die and are as large as possible while still being readable along the socket's curved surface. Detent grooves and beveled edges provide a smooth and secure connection with the drive tool.
20 Degree Angle Increases Access – The ball end increases your ability to access fasteners while still maintaining sufficient strength

Straight, Permanent Connection – The bit is pressed directly into the socket for a permanent connection that won't loosen over time or under stress
Large, Stamped Markings – Markings are permanently impressed into the material by a roll-stamp die and are clearly visible because of their extra-deep outline
Secure Drive Tool Engagement – Detent grooves and beveled edges provide a smooth and secure connection with the drive tool
