Socket bit 1/2" 6-point 16 mm long, GEKO G12116 (MPN 612562)

Long 6-point socket bit with a 1/2" drive and 16 mm size from GEKO G12116 is designed for tightening and loosening hex fasteners where extra reach is required. The extended profile provides access to recessed nuts and bolts while the 6-point geometry ensures even contact with fastener heads to reduce rounding. Compatible with tools featuring a 1/2" square drive, this socket bit is intended for use in automotive, mechanical and general maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The long 16 mm 6-point design allows deeper engagement with fasteners in confined or recessed spaces, improving accessibility without sacrificing torque transfer. Precision-machined faces deliver a secure fit on hex heads and help minimize slippage and wear. Constructed from hardened material and finished to resist corrosion, the socket bit is suitable for repeated use with hand ratchets and compatible 1/2" drive impact tools.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel hub work
• Engine and transmission maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in workshops
• General maintenance in tight or recessed fastening points

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" square drive compatible
• Socket type: 6-point (hex) geometry
• Nominal size: 16 mm
• Profile: long / extended length for recessed access
• Material: hardened tool steel with corrosion-resistant finish

How to use

Select the 16 mm 6-point socket bit and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet or impact driver. Position the socket over the hex fastener ensuring full contact of the 6 points. Apply steady torque, avoiding sudden impacts when using manual tools; when using impact tools follow the manufacturer's torque guidance. After use, inspect the socket faces for wear and clean off debris before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket bit with the correct 1/2" drive tool and a matching 16 mm fastener to ensure optimal fit and reduce fastener damage. Avoid excessive torque beyond recommended limits for the fastener or tool, and store the socket in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
