What it does

  • Holds hex bits securely in your socket driver so you can switch between tools without fumbling
  • Wings grip your hex adapter or bit firmly, so your work stays steady and safe
  • Scales to fit your hex bits perfectly, giving you a custom tool that works just right
  • Works with any hex bit you own, so you get more use from tools you already have

You want your hex bits to fit snugly in your socket driver without sliding around. Hex Wings gives you a custom adapter that grips tight and holds steady while you work.

This 3D-printed tool features wings that wrap around your hex bit. The inner opening measures 6.8mm flat to flat, so most standard hex bits fit right in. You can adjust the scale to match your exact bits and your printer's shrink rate. Make it taller or shorter based on what you need.

Designed by makers who actually use their tools, Hex Wings lets you skip buying adapters and print exactly what works for you instead.

What it is made of

Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
