Precision Metric Ball Hex Set

The Wiha 26491 set contains five precision screwdrivers with ball-end hex tips in metric sizes 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm. Shank lengths range from 50 mm to 60 mm across the pieces. Hard chrome finish provides corrosion resistance for the CVM steel blades. The set is designed for metric fastener work requiring angled access.

Suited for tight-angle metric tasks

Technicians and hobbyists who need to drive metric hex screws at an angle will find the ball-end tips useful. The range covers small precision sizes from 1.3 mm to 3.0 mm. Buyers requiring imperial hex sizes or a broader range of metric sizes should look at other sets. The screwdrivers are not ESD safe and are not rated as non-sparking tools.

Ball-end hex tip geometry

The defining specification is the ball-end hex tip on every driver, which allows off-axis engagement with metric socket head screws. This geometry enables access where a straight driver cannot reach. If the application demands a straight hex tip or a different drive profile, this set will not fit the requirement.

Questions about this item

What can the five metric ball-hex sizes (1.3 mm to 3.0 mm) actually reach inside a device?

The set covers 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm hex fasteners, with shank lengths of 50 mm for the 1.35 mm driver and 60 mm for the four larger sizes, letting you reach recessed screws in tight assemblies.

How does the ball-end hex interface limit the torque you can apply?

The ball-end allows engagement up to an angle, but torque drops off as the angle increases; for maximum tightening or loosening force, keep the driver as close to straight as possible.

What handle diameter and blade clearance do I need to fit these drivers in my workspace?

Each driver has an ergonomic CVM steel handle with a hard-chrome finished blade; the 1.35 mm blade is 50 mm long and the 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm blades are 60 mm long, so measure your access holes against those lengths.
