Socket Bit 1/2" 20 mm, 6-point, Dedra 16A320P

Socket Bit 1/2" 20 mm, 6-point, Dedra 16A320P is a 20 mm six-point socket designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches. Manufactured for general fastening and loosening of hex fasteners, this socket bit is intended for workshop and automotive tasks where reliable engagement and accurate torque transfer are required. The product matches standard 1/2" drive interfaces and a 6-point profile to reduce rounding of fastener corners.

Advantages

The six-point geometry provides full-face contact with hex fasteners to minimize slippage and reduce damage to bolt heads. The socket's 20 mm size covers common metric fasteners used in automotive and mechanical assemblies. It is compatible with standard 1/2" drive tools, allowing easy integration with ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches. The construction is intended for manual workshop use and offers straightforward interchangeability within a 1/2" drive toolset.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance tasks that require 20 mm hex sockets
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of machinery and equipment
• General workshop use with 1/2" drive ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches
• Applications where reduced rounding of fastener corners is important

Key specifications

• Socket size: 20 mm
• Drive connection: 1/2"
• Point profile: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: manual fastening and loosening with ratchets and torque wrenches
• Typical applications: automotive, mechanical, general workshop

How to use

Select the 20 mm six-point socket for the corresponding hex fastener and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive tool such as a ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Ensure the socket seats fully on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slipping. When using a torque wrench, follow specified torque settings for the fastener and apply force steadily. After use, inspect the socket for wear or deformity and store it in a tool organizer to maintain readiness.

Usage recommendations

Use the six-point socket for standard hex fasteners rather than rounded or damaged heads. For high-torque applications, use a suitable long-handled bar or torque-rated extension and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Regularly check tool interfaces for secure fit and replace sockets that show significant wear.
