The Britool Hallmark 22 Piece 3/8" Drive Standard and Ball-End Hex Bit Socket Set is a professional-quality metric Allen key socket collection designed for automotive servicing, mechanical engineering, machinery maintenance and general workshop applications.
Combining standard short hexagon bit sockets with extra-long ball-end hex bit sockets, this comprehensive set provides a versatile selection of tools for tightening and loosening internal hexagon (Allen) fasteners in both conventional and restricted-access working environments.
Each socket features a 3/8" square drive for use with compatible manual ratchets, extension bars and other suitable hand-drive accessories.
The hexagon bits are manufactured from high-quality S2 steel, a material widely used in professional screwdriver bits and hexagon drive tooling because of its strength, toughness and resistance to wear.
The set includes short standard hex bit sockets measuring approximately 48mm long, together with long ball-end hex bit sockets measuring approximately 95mm long.
The ball-end design provides additional flexibility when accessing internal hexagon fasteners at an angle, while the extended shaft length helps reach recessed bolts and fasteners positioned behind surrounding components.
Each bit is marked with the distinctive Britool Hallmark B logo
and its individual part reference, providing clear tool identification.
Individual replacement sockets are also available separately, allowing the set to be maintained without purchasing another complete collection.

Standard Short Hex Bit Sockets – 48mm Length
The set includes standard straight-tip hexagon bit sockets covering metric sizes within the 3mm to 14mm range.
Each standard socket measures approximately 48mm in overall length, providing a compact profile suitable for general mechanical fastening applications.
The conventional straight hexagon tip provides direct engagement with compatible internal hexagon bolts and socket-head cap screws.
Standard hex bit sockets are particularly useful where the tool can be positioned directly in line with the fastener.
Their relatively short length also helps maintain a compact working arrangement when clearance is limited.
Long Ball-End Hex Bit Sockets – 95mm Length
The set also includes long ball-end hexagon bit sockets covering metric sizes within the 4mm to 12mm range.
Each long socket measures approximately 95mm in overall length, providing additional reach for recessed or difficult-to-access fasteners.
The ball-end hexagon tip allows the bit to engage suitable internal hexagon fasteners at an angle rather than requiring perfect straight-line alignment.
This can be particularly beneficial when surrounding components prevent a conventional straight hex bit from being positioned directly above the fastener.
The longer shaft also provides improved access to fasteners located deeper within machinery, engine components and mechanical assemblies.
Ball-end tips are primarily intended to improve accessibility. For high-torque final tightening or initial loosening of stubborn fasteners, a correctly seated straight hexagon bit is generally preferable.
High-Quality S2 Steel Bits
The hexagon bits are manufactured from S2 steel, a material commonly used in professional-quality drive bits and screwdriver tooling.
S2 steel offers a useful combination of strength, toughness and wear resistance, making it well suited to repeated mechanical fastening applications.
The material is particularly appropriate for precision-formed hexagon tips that need to maintain reliable engagement with correctly sized internal hexagon fasteners.
The combination of S2 steel construction and professional Britool Hallmark tooling design makes this set suitable for regular workshop use.
3/8" Square Drive Compatibility
All sockets in the set feature a standard 3/8" square drive.
This makes them compatible with suitable 3/8" drive manual tools, including:
- 3/8" drive ratchet wrenches
- 3/8" drive extension bars
- 3/8" drive sliding T-bars
- 3/8" drive breaker bars, within the socket's intended loading limits
- Other compatible manual square-drive accessories
The 3/8" drive format provides a practical balance between compact tool dimensions and mechanical fastening capability.
These sockets are intended for manual hand-tool applications unless a specific impact rating is confirmed.
Standard and Ball-End Hex Sockets in One Set
One of the main advantages of this Britool Hallmark collection is the combination of two different hexagon bit designs.
The standard short hex bit sockets provide direct engagement with internal hexagon fasteners and are particularly useful for conventional tightening and loosening operations.
The long ball-end hex bit sockets provide additional reach and angled access when the fastener is recessed or obstructed by surrounding components.
Having both styles available allows mechanics and technicians to select the most appropriate tool for the application.
This makes the set particularly useful for workshop environments where access conditions vary between different fastening tasks.

Britool Hallmark Branding and Part Identification
Each bit features the distinctive Britool Hallmark B logo, providing clear identification as part of the established Britool professional hand-tool range.
Individual part references are also marked on the bits, helping users identify the correct tool when selecting replacements or maintaining an existing set.
This is particularly useful in professional workshops where individual sockets may need to be replaced following loss, damage or extended service.
Replacement Sockets Available Separately
Individual Britool Hallmark hexagon bit sockets are available separately.
This allows individual sizes to be replaced without purchasing another complete 22-piece set.
Replacement availability may vary by size and socket style.
