Socket 1/4" Hex 7 mm GEKO T00140-07, short drive, 10/100 pack options

GEKO T00140-07 is a 7 mm hex socket with a 1/4" drive designed for use with ratchets, torque drivers and other compatible 1/4" drive tools. This short-drive socket offers secure engagement with hex fasteners in confined spaces and is available in pack sizes of 10 or 100 for small workshops, service departments and production lines.

Advantages

The short-drive construction reduces reach while maintaining a firm grip on 7 mm hex fasteners, helping to prevent rounding and slippage. The standard hex profile ensures reliable torque transfer and easy alignment on fasteners. Pack options of 10 and 100 provide flexibility for individual technicians or larger teams, and compatibility with 1/4" drive tools makes this socket versatile for a range of light- to medium-duty fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Assembly and disassembly of small machinery and equipment
• Electronics and appliance maintenance where compact sockets are needed
• Automotive trim, interior and bodywork fastening tasks
• Workshop and service-kit stocking for technicians and mechanics

Key specifications

• Socket size: 7 mm hex
• Drive type: 1/4" square drive
• Drive style: short (reduced length) for tight spaces
• Profile: standard hexagonal internal profile for hex fasteners
• Pack quantities: available in packs of 10 or 100 pieces
• Compatibility: fits standard 1/4" drive ratchets, extensions and torque drivers

How to use

Select the 7 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, driver or extension. Place the socket squarely onto the hex fastener and apply steady torque, ensuring the socket fully seats on the fastener to avoid slipping. For repeatable torque-sensitive operations, use a calibrated 1/4" drive torque tool and follow the torque settings specified by the equipment manufacturer. When removing fasteners in confined areas, the short-drive design provides improved access but maintain controlled force to protect fastener heads.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket before use for wear or damage and replace if rounding or cracking is present. Use with appropriate drive tools rated for the intended torque; avoid excessive impact or overtightening that exceeds tool or fastener specifications. Store sockets in a clean, dry organizer to prevent corrosion and to keep the 7 mm size easily accessible for assembly and maintenance tasks.
