Socket Gedore R41001009 1/4" Drive Metric 1.47 cm Diameter 50 mm Length

The Gedore R41001009 1/4" Drive Metric socket is a compact hand tool designed for precise fastening tasks in metric sizes. With a 1.47 cm diameter and 50 mm overall length, this socket offers a balance of access and torque transfer suitable for confined spaces and routine mechanical work. Its lightweight construction at 39 g makes it easy to handle during repetitive operations while remaining compatible with standard 1/4" drive ratchets and extensions.

Advantages

This metric socket provides accurate engagement with hex fasteners and stable torque transmission thanks to its precise machining and standardized drive interface. The compact 50 mm length gives improved access in tight assemblies, while the moderate diameter helps reach recessed bolts. Its low weight improves user comfort during extended use without compromising durability when used within recommended torque ranges.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and light mechanical repairs
• Assembly and disassembly of electronics and appliances where metric fasteners are used
• Workshop tasks requiring access to recessed or closely spaced fasteners
• Use with 1/4" drive ratchets, T-handles and extension bars

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4"
• Working (fastener) diameter: 1.47 cm
• Overall length: 50 mm
• Weight: 39 g
• Metric sizing for standard hex fasteners

How to use

Select the socket to match the metric fastener size and attach it securely to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, T-handle, or extension. Place the socket fully onto the fastener head to ensure correct engagement, then apply steady turning force within the socket's intended torque range. For access in confined areas, combine with an appropriately sized extension or universal joint as needed. After use, clean any debris from the socket and store it in a tool organizer to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with compatible 1/4" drive tools and avoid applying impact forces or excessive torque beyond the manufacturer's recommended limits. Regular inspection and cleaning will maintain fit and function; replace the socket if rounding or visible wear appears on the engaging surfaces.
