3/8 Inch Square Drive SAE Fractional Extra Long Hex and Ball Hex - VIM Tools

The VIM Tools HXL100 is a comprehensive 14-piece 3/8 inch square drive hex driver set designed for professional technicians requiring extended reach and reliable fastening in challenging applications. This set combines both standard hex and ball hex drivers, providing the versatility needed to tackle a wide range of SAE fractional fasteners in tight or obstructed areas within automotive and industrial settings.

Key Features

• Extended Reach Design: Each driver features a 6-inch overall length, allowing access to deeply recessed or difficult-to-reach fasteners often found in modern vehicle engine compartments and industrial machinery.
• Premium Steel Construction: Hex and ball hex blades are crafted from S2 steel with a hardness rating of RC 58/62 and black plated for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The 3/8 inch square drive bit holders are made from heat-treated CR-V steel with a bright chrome finish.
• Dual Hex Functionality: This set includes a full range of standard hex blade drivers for maximum torque transfer and ball hex blade drivers for angular entry (up to 25 degrees), offering critical flexibility in confined spaces. Included sizes for both types are 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8".
• Secure & Reliable Connection: Blades are press-fit into their holders and further secured with set screws featuring thread locker, ensuring a robust connection during high-torque applications.
• Clear Size Identification: Large, bold markings on each driver facilitate quick and easy size selection, improving workflow efficiency for professional mechanics.
• Professional Assurance: Backed by VIM Tools' limited lifetime warranty for long-term reliability and peace of mind in demanding work environments.

Applications

Ideal for automotive repair, engine maintenance, transmission work, chassis components, and general industrial applications where SAE fractional hex fasteners are prevalent. The extra-long design and ball hex capability make this set particularly useful for reaching fasteners in cramped engine bays, behind panels, or within complex machinery where standard length drivers cannot reach or align directly.
