Malco Products C-RHEX Cleanable Reversible Magnetic Hex Driver, 1/4 in. and 5/16 in. Sockets, 2 in. Shaft
The Malco MSHC C-RHEX is a cleanable, reversible magnetic hex driver with 1/4 in. and 5/16 in. dual-sided sockets on a 2 in. shaft. One driver per sell unit, with a detachable socket for cleaning out metal shavings. It pairs with any drill or driver for HVAC and metal roofing screws.
Key Features:
- Dual socket sizes: The reversible dual-sided socket provides both 1/4 in. and 5/16 in. hex sizes in one driver.
- Cleanable design: The hex socket detaches from the 2 in. magnetic shaft so metal shavings can be cleaned out of the tip.
- Reversible action: The reversible socket flips to switch between the two hex sizes quickly.
- Magnetic tip: The magnetic shaft holds screws during driving and removal.
- Compact 2 in. shaft: The 2 in. shaft length reaches screws in narrow sheet metal channels.
- Limited lifetime warranty: Malco backs the C-RHEX driver with a limited lifetime warranty statement.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
The 1/4 in. and 5/16 in. dual-size C-RHEX is the standard setup for metal roofing and HVAC crews, since metal panel fasteners commonly use both hex sizes. The detachable socket is the real differentiator: metal shavings migrate into non-cleanable drivers and kill grip over time. Choose the 2 in. shaft for tight channels and a longer C-RHEX variant for standing seam ribs.
Wear eye protection when driving screws — metal shavings and fastener fragments can fly, and detaching the socket to clean should be done with the tool stopped and away from the chuck.
