Overview
At 4.13 inches long and just 18.14 grams, the SUNEX SUN252D sits at the ultralight end of the square drive category. The 4.13-inch length gives slightly more reach than shorter companions in this family while the minimal weight means it adds almost nothing to a tool pouch. Priced at $26.99, it is the more premium option in the SUNEX square drive lineup covered here.
Owner response is strong: 4.7 stars across 576 reviews and a consistent 100 units moving per month. Based on specs and verified owner reviews, buyers prize it for precision seating in spots where heavier tools introduce too much inertia or clearance problems.
The SUN252D makes the most sense as a finishing piece in a socket collection rather than a primary drive tool. Its lightweight nature limits the brute-force torque you can apply, but for snug, controlled fastener work the extended reach and low mass are genuine advantages.

Performance notes
The 4.13-inch length and 18.14-gram weight make the SUNEX SUN252D best suited to controlled, low-force fastener work where clearance is limited. The extended reach relative to 3-inch-class adapters gives an edge in recessed bolt access. Owners should verify drive compatibility before use.
What buyers say
Owners report satisfaction with fit and finish, often noting the tool seats cleanly and holds without slop. The light weight draws praise from those working overhead or in tight compartments. A minority of reviewers note the price point is high relative to similar-size options from other brands.
Why does the SUNEX SUN252D weigh only 18.14 grams?
The listed weight of 18.14 grams suggests a compact adapter or coupler-style build rather than a full wrench body. It is consistent with a lightweight square drive adapter designed for precision placement rather than heavy torque work.
Is the SUNEX SUN252D worth $26.99 compared to cheaper alternatives?
At 4.7 stars and 576 reviews with 100 monthly buyers, the demand data supports the price for buyers who specifically want SUNEX quality and the 4.13-inch reach. Budget shoppers can find lighter-demand square drive pieces starting below $10 in this category.
