3 mm Hex Socket Bit
The Westward 54TM18 is a metric hex socket bit with a 1/4 inch drive and a 3 mm tip. It is built from alloy steel with a full polished chrome finish and meets ASME B18.3.2M-1979 standards. The extra-long socket depth and 4-3/4 inch overall length suit mechanics reaching fasteners in deep or recessed locations.
Technicians needing a single 3 mm bit
This bit suits technicians who need one precise 3 mm hex driver for standard 1/4 inch drive tools. It is not for buyers who want a set covering multiple tip sizes, users requiring an impact-rated bit, or anyone needing a different drive size such as 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch.
Simple drop-in installation
The bit drops into any 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension and locks with the standard ball detent. What usually goes wrong is selecting the wrong drive size or tip size for the fastener, so verify both measurements before use. The polished chrome finish resists corrosion but can round if excessive force is applied to damaged fasteners.

Questions about this item
Which drive size ratchet or driver do I need to use the 1/4 In. drive on this bit?
The bit has a 1/4 In. drive, so it fits any standard 1/4 In. square-drive ratchet, breaker bar or impact driver.
Will the 3mm hex tip engage fasteners on older equipment that uses the same metric size?
Yes, the 3mm hex tip follows ASME B18.3.2M-1979, so it matches legacy 3mm hex fasteners made to that standard.
How can I confirm the bit is fully seated in the fastener before applying torque?
The extra-long socket depth and 3-7/8 In. insert length let the tip reach deep; you will feel positive engagement when the hex flanks seat completely.
