Socket 1" 60mm 6-point Gedore RF-58560

Gedore RF-58560 is a 1" drive, 60 mm long socket with a 6-point internal profile designed for fastening and loosening hexagonal fasteners. Made by Gedore, this socket is intended for use with 1" drive tools and provides a sturdy connection between drive and fastener. The 60 mm length offers extended reach for recessed or partially obstructed bolts while the 6-point profile concentrates torque on flat surfaces of fasteners to reduce rounding.

Advantages

The Gedore 1" 60 mm 6-point socket combines a durable construction with precise internal geometry to deliver reliable torque transfer and long service life. Its 6-point configuration improves grip on hex heads compared with 12-point types, helping to minimise slippage and damage under high loads. The 60 mm shaft length increases accessibility to bolts in narrow or recessed locations and supports the use of heavy-duty ratchets, torque wrenches, and impact tools compatible with a 1" drive.

Suitable for

• Automotive heavy-duty repairs and commercial vehicle maintenance
• Industrial assembly and disassembly of large fastened joints
• Workshop maintenance where high torque and secure engagement are required
• Applications requiring extended reach to access recessed hex bolts

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1 inch
• Socket length: 60 mm
• Internal profile: 6-point (hexagonal)
• Compatibility: fits tools with 1" drive, such as heavy-duty ratchets and torque wrenches
• Intended use: fastening and loosening hexagonal fasteners

How to use

Select a 1" drive tool compatible with the socket, ensure the drive engagement is clean and free of debris, and push the socket onto the tool’s square drive until it locks or seats firmly. Place the socket squarely on the hexagonal fastener, apply steady torque through the drive tool, and avoid sudden impacts unless the socket and tool are rated for impact use. For loosening, apply controlled force and, if necessary, use a breaker bar to increase leverage while keeping the socket aligned with the fastener to prevent rounding.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket before use for signs of wear or deformation; use appropriate torque settings for the fastener and tool, and choose impact-rated sockets if using impact wrenches. Store the socket in a dry, organised toolbox to protect the drive faces and preserve fit accuracy.
