Socket bit 6-point long 1/4" CR-V 10 mm — GEKO

Long 6-point socket bit from GEKO, 10 mm with a 1/4" drive, manufactured from chrome-vanadium (CR-V) steel. This 1/4" CR-V 10 mm socket bit is designed to fit 1/4" bit holders, ratchets and drivers, offering extended reach for recessed or hard-to-access fasteners. The 6-point profile provides secure engagement with hex heads to reduce rounding and slippage during mechanical, automotive and general repair tasks.

Advantages

The GEKO 10 mm long socket bit combines durable chrome-vanadium construction with a precise 6-point internal profile to deliver reliable torque transfer and wear resistance. Its extended length improves access to deep-set bolts and nuts while the standard 1/4" drive ensures compatibility with common hand tools and interchangeable bit holders. The solid-machined design maintains concentricity under load for consistent performance over repeated use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where recessed hex fasteners are present
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in workshops and service bays
• General household and DIY repair tasks requiring extended reach
• Use with 1/4" bit holders, ratchets and manual drivers

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" compatible
• Socket profile: 6-point (hex)
• Socket size: 10 mm
• Material: chrome-vanadium (CR-V) steel
• Form factor: long/extended socket bit for improved reach

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" bit holder, ratchet or driver and insert the GEKO 10 mm long socket bit securely into the tool. Position the socket over the hex fastener, ensuring full 6-point engagement before applying torque. Turn the driver or ratchet steadily to loosen or tighten the fastener, avoiding sudden impacts that exceed the tool’s design limits. After use, wipe the bit clean and store it in a bit holder or toolbox to protect the driving surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket bit with tools rated for the required torque and avoid using excessive force to prevent damage to the bit or fastener. For best results on corroded or rounded fasteners, apply penetrating lubricant and allow it to work before attempting removal. Regularly inspect the bit for wear and replace it if significant rounding or deformation of the driving surfaces is observed.
