ANNANDALE, Minn.. Aug. 27, 2020Malco Products, SBC, one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of high-quality, American-made tools for professional use, recently introduced an enhanced version of its best-selling 1/4- and 5/16-inch C-RHEX® driver, featuring a 16 percent slimmer profile on the 1/4-inch side for easier access in confined spaces. This design enhancement will apply to the 2-inch (MSHC), 2 5/8-inch (MSHLC), 4-inch (MSHMLC), and 6-inch (MSHXLC) drivers, with availability dates ranging from August to October 2020.

“We’re thrilled to announce the revamped C-RHEX line that features all of the great benefits contractors know and love, with the added advantage of a slimmer profile for streamlined use and more flexibility,” said Nancy Gunnerson, Malco marketing manager. “End-user feedback is vital for us to uphold our legacy of innovation, so when contractors asked for updates, we delivered.”

Designed with trade professionals in mind, Malco’s cleanable, reversible magnetic hex drivers do double-duty with “2-EZ Technology” that ensure the right size hex drives are always at-hand. Featuring single-piece strength and an indestructible magnet, it’s the perfect companion for trade pros.

Available in four lengths, C-RHEX drivers are quick to set up and change between sizes, while the driver shank remains installed in the drill chuck. Furthermore, cleaning is a breeze – it’s easy to remove troublesome metal shavings with the swipe of a glove or shop towel.
