Forsage socket bit 1/4" 8 mm 12-point F-5295008

Forsage 1/4" 8 mm 12-point socket bit (model F-5295008) is a compact accessory designed for use with standard 1/4-inch drive ratchets and bit holders. The 8 mm diameter and 12-point internal profile allow multiple engagement points on fasteners, improving alignment in confined spaces. Its short, sturdy construction makes it suitable for light automotive work, bicycle maintenance and general household fastening tasks where a compact socket is required.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry enables easier engagement with hexagonal fasteners at different angles, reducing the need for precise alignment in tight spots. The 1/4" drive compatibility ensures the socket bit works with common ratchets, extension bars and bit holders. Its compact length allows access in narrow recesses while maintaining sufficient material thickness for durability under typical torque levels. Manufactured to fit standard 8 mm fasteners, the socket bit offers consistent fit and repeatable performance for small to medium fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Light automotive repairs such as interior trim and small engine components
• Bicycle assembly and maintenance including hubs, brakes and accessories
• Household tasks like furniture assembly, appliance adjustments and general fastening
• Workshops using 1/4" drive tool systems and compact socket sets

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4 inch
• Socket size: 8 mm
• Point profile: 12-point (double hex) internal geometry
• Construction: short/compact socket bit suitable for tight access
• Compatibility: fits standard 1/4" ratchets, bit holders and extension bars

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet or bit holder, insert the socket bit firmly into the drive, then engage the 8 mm fastener by seating the 12-point profile fully over the head. Apply torque smoothly and avoid excessive force beyond the recommended capacity of the tool or fastener. For removal, reverse the ratchet direction or use a suitable bit holder extension to reach recessed fasteners. Inspect the socket bit for wear or rounding before use and replace if any deformation is visible.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket bit with hand tools rated for 1/4" drives and avoid high-impact drivers unless the bit is specifically rated for impact use. Keep the socket bit clean and lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion, and store it in a protective case to maintain the fit and geometry.
