Check your drive and fastener size
Verify that your ratchet or driver accepts a 1/4 inch drive socket before ordering. Confirm the fastener you intend to turn is a 3/16 inch SAE hex head. The insert length is 5/8 inch and the socket depth is standard, so ensure adequate access and clearance in your application.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
Mechanics and DIY users needing a short 1/4 inch drive hex bit for 3/16 inch SAE fasteners will find this tool fits the task. Buyers who need a different drive size, a metric hex tip, or a longer reach bit should look at other options. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the 54TL87 socket bit and is anything else needed to use it?
The box contains the single 3/16 inch hex socket bit made from alloy steel with a full polished chrome finish; a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or driver is required separately.
How do I choose between the listed versions or capacities for this Westward hex socket bit?
The 54TL87 is a single fixed specification — 3/16 inch tip, 1-1/2 inch overall length, 5/8 inch insert length and standard socket depth — so no version or capacity choice exists.
What does the ASME B18.3-2012 standard mean for the 54TL87 when I use it in a real job?
It confirms the 6-point hex geometry and alloy steel construction meet the recognised dimensional and performance requirements for hand-tool socket bits.
