Socket key (t-handle) GEKO G13488 Torx T60, 6-point, 100 mm, CR-V

GEKO G13488 Torx T60 socket key is a 6-point, 100 mm hand tool made from chrome-vanadium (CR-V) steel for driving and removing Torx fasteners. The long T-handle design provides leverage and reach for recessed or hard-to-access T60 heads. The 6-point profile ensures full contact with the Torx geometry to reduce rounding and enable reliable torque transfer during assembly and disassembly tasks.

Advantages

The chrome-vanadium construction offers strength and wear resistance while a protective finish reduces surface corrosion in workshop environments. The 6-point Torx engagement improves load distribution across the fastener, lowering the risk of cam-out and stripping. The T-handle format combines a stable grip with extended reach, allowing controlled application of torque and easier manipulation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance involving Torx T60 fasteners
• Machinery and equipment servicing where reliable torque is required
• General workshop and industrial assembly or disassembly tasks
• Applications with recessed or hard-to-reach Torx heads

Key specifications

• Drive type: Torx T60, 6-point
• Length: 100 mm (overall tool length)
• Design: T-handle (socket key)
• Material: chrome-vanadium (CR-V) steel
• Finish: protective surface treatment for corrosion resistance

How to use

Align the Torx T60 socket end with the corresponding fastener head and push firmly to ensure full engagement of the 6-point profile. Use the T-handle to apply steady torque in the required direction, keeping the tool axis aligned with the fastener to prevent cam-out. For removal, maintain control while reversing the handle and support surrounding components to avoid damage. After use, clean the tool and store it in a dry place to preserve the protective finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket key with appropriate force for the fastener size and avoid applying excessive impact or leverage beyond hand force limits. Regularly inspect the Torx tip for wear and do not use if rounded or damaged. For high-torque applications consider using tools rated for higher torque or a torque-limiting device to protect fasteners and fastened assemblies.
