The C-RHEX driver fits standard drill chucks and is made for 1/4 in. and 5/16 in. hex-head sheet metal screws common in HVAC and metal roofing work. Malco also offers the C-RHEX family in other shaft lengths and sizes; the socket on this model is not interchangeable with those versions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes does this driver cover?

It includes a reversible dual-sided socket with 1/4 in. and 5/16 in. hex openings on a 2 in. shaft.

How do I clean it?

The hex socket detaches from the 2 in. magnetic shaft so you can clear out metal shavings that collect in the tip.

Is the tip magnetic?

Yes, the shaft is magnetic to hold hex-head screws during installation and removal.

Why a 2 in. shaft?

The 2 in. shaft length lets you reach 1/4 in. screws in narrow sheet metal channels where longer tools will not fit.

What is it used for?

Driving and removing hex-head sheet metal screws, such as on HVAC units and metal roofing panels.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, Malco provides a limited lifetime warranty statement covering the C-RHEX driver family.

Product Expert Notes

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.
