Socket 1/4" 13 mm GEKO T00140-13 hexagonal hand tool accessory (pack 10/100)

Hexagonal socket 1/4" (6.35 mm) with a 13 mm opening from GEKO, model T00140-13, is a hand tool accessory designed for use with 1/4" drive ratchets and extensions. Supplied in pack sizes of 10 or 100, the socket is intended for fastening and loosening bolts and nuts with a 13 mm head in workshops, automotive repair and general maintenance environments. The compact, single-piece construction provides straightforward engagement with fastener heads and is suitable for confined spaces where a small drive size is required.

Advantages

The GEKO 13 mm socket offers a standard hex profile that ensures accurate contact with 6-point fasteners to reduce rounding. Its 1/4" drive compatibility makes it versatile for use with a wide range of ratchets, torque drivers and extension bars, while the small drive size improves access in tight locations. Supplied in multi-packs, it provides consistent sizing across jobs and reduces the need to repeatedly purchase single units for routine maintenance and repair tasks.

How to use

Select a 13 mm GEKO socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet or extension. Position the socket over the hex head of the fastener, ensuring full seating to avoid slippage.
