3 mm Hex Socket Bit

The Westward 54TL72 is a 3 mm hex socket bit designed for mechanics and technicians who need to drive or remove metric fasteners with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet. It fits standard sockets and extensions for everyday workshop tasks.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Alloy steel construction resists rounding and deformation when high torque is applied repeatedly during extended service intervals. The full polished chrome finish reduces corrosion risk so the bit maintains dimensional accuracy over many cycles.

Build Quality and Connectors

A 6-point hex profile engages fastener flats securely, lowering the chance of slippage on stubborn bolts. The 1-3/4 inch overall length and 3/4 inch insert length allow access in typical engine bays while meeting ASME B18.3.2M-1979 dimensional standards.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 54TL72 socket bit generate during all-day use?

As a hand tool it produces no heat of its own; only friction from the fastener creates warmth.

What drive tool must I already own to use the 3/8 in. drive on this bit?

A 3/8 in. square-drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench is required.

Will the 6-point hex tip engage older fasteners with worn corners?

The 6-point hex profile contacts flats rather than corners, reducing rounding on aged bolts.
