Hexagonal socket GEKO T00142-23 with a 1/2" drive and 23 mm nominal size is a workshop accessory designed for use with common 1/2" drive tools. It fits bolts and nuts with a 23 mm across-flats dimension and is intended for tasks in automotive repair, equipment maintenance and general assembly where a reliable hex socket is required. The product is supplied in the indicated pack quantities for workshop and professional use.

Advantages

This 23 mm socket features a standard 1/2" hex drive interface for compatibility with ratchets, torque wrenches and breaker bars. Constructed to withstand the torque levels typical in vehicle maintenance and industrial applications, the design provides precise engagement with hex fasteners to reduce rounding. The socket's nominal size marking supports quick identification during work, while the solid hexagon profile ensures stable contact with nuts and bolts.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel, brake or suspension maintenance
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks

How to use

Select the 23 mm socket for a fastener with a matching across-flats dimension and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive tool such as a ratchet, torque wrench or breaker bar. Position the socket fully over the fastener head, ensure correct engagement of all six contact faces, and apply turning force smoothly. When using a torque wrench, follow the specified torque values for the fastener to avoid overtightening. After use, clean off dirt and store the socket in a dedicated organizer or case to prevent damage and corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use impact-rated sockets only with impact tools; if using hand tools and torque wrenches, verify the socket is intended for hand-tool use. Match the socket size precisely to the fastener, and avoid excessive force or hammering to reduce the risk of rounding. Regularly inspect the socket for wear or deformation before use.
