Socket bit 1/2" 6-point 26 mm Dedra 16A326P

Dedra 16A326P is a 6-point 1/2" socket bit with a 26 mm working size designed for secure engagement with hex fasteners. Made for use with 1/2" drives, this socket is compatible with manual ratchets and suitable power tool adapters, providing a reliable interface for general mechanical and automotive tasks that require a 26 mm hex socket.

Advantages

The 6-point design reduces rounding of bolt heads and increases contact surface area for improved torque transfer. A 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with common ratchets and breaker bars while the 26 mm diameter fits standard metric hex fasteners. Built to meet the demands of routine workshop and garage work, the socket offers a straightforward solution for tightening and loosening bolts with consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs and wheel nut removal where a 26 mm hex is used
• General mechanical maintenance and assembly tasks
• Use with 1/2" manual ratchets, breaker bars, and compatible drive adapters

Key specifications

• Socket geometry: 6-point (hex)
• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Working size: 26 mm
• Intended use: manual ratchet and compatible power tool adapters
• Application: metric hex fasteners

How to use

Select a 1/2" drive ratchet or adapter, attach the socket securely to the drive, and place the 26 mm opening onto the hex fastener. Apply steady torque in the required direction, taking care to maintain full seating of the socket on the fastener to avoid slippage. For high-torque applications, use appropriate breaker bars or torque tools and ensure adapters are rated for the applied load.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener before use for wear or damage; replace the socket if deformation or cracking is present. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow tool manufacturer guidance when using with powered drivers. Store in a dry toolbox or socket rail to prevent corrosion and maintain readiness.
