Bondhus BD31686 17mm Ball End Socket Bit, 150mm
Out of stock
Bondhus metric ball end hex bits, 150mm long, sold one at a time in 11 sizes from 3mm to 19mm. They are bits only, so you fit them into a standard six point socket and turn them with a ratchet. They suit mechanics, maintenance fitters and machine assemblers who need to reach a hex screw sitting deep in a recess.
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°. These are ProHold tip bits. ProHold is Bondhus's name for a non-magnetic button on the tip that holds the screw on the tool. The socket is not included. For power tools, see the 76mm ball end power bits.
