Bondhus BD40612 1/4" Ball End Screwdriver, 249mm overall
Available
Bondhus imperial ball end hex screwdrivers, sold one at a time in 12 sizes from .050" to 3/8". They suit maintenance fitters, machine assemblers and mechanics who want a proper handle for inch-size hex socket screws. The 1/8" size is a separate product, BD40607.
The ball end is a rounded tip. It slides into the screw head quickly and still turns the screw with the tool tilted off straight. It has a working angle of 25°. The handle has a non-slip rubber grip over a tough plastic core, and its anti-roll shape stops it rolling away on a bench. Handles are colour coded so you can pick the size quickly. Pick the size that matches the hex socket in your screw. These are standard length. For metric screws, see the metric ball end screwdrivers.
