Drive size and tip

The Westward 54TM05 is a 1/4 inch drive hex socket bit with a 2.5 mm metric tip. It is made from alloy steel for durability in fastening tasks. The overall length is 1-3/4 inches with a 7/8 inch insert length. This hand tool suits mechanics and industry professionals who need a precise fit for hex screws.

Suitable users and limits

The bit socket fits 1/4 inch drive ratchets and handles, so buyers using larger drive sizes will need a different tool. It addresses only 2.5 mm hex fasteners, so anyone working with other metric or imperial sizes must look elsewhere. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your ratchet or driver accepts a 1/4 inch drive before ordering. Confirm the fasteners you will encounter are 2.5 mm hex heads, as this bit does not adapt to other profiles. Ensure alloy steel construction meets the hardness requirements of your application.

Questions about this item

Which ratchet or driver do I need to use the 1/4 in drive on this 2.5 mm hex bit socket?

Any 1/4 inch square-drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench will engage the socket directly.

Can I keep using my existing 1/4 in drive extensions and adapters with this bit socket?

Yes, the 1/4 inch drive end accepts standard extensions, universal joints and adapters without modification.

How do I confirm the bit is fully seated in a 2.5 mm hex fastener before applying torque?

The 7/8 in insert length lets the tip bottom out in the fastener; you will feel a positive stop when it is fully engaged.
