## Summary description

GEKO T00143-08 is a 1/2" drive, 8 mm 12-point socket designed as a hand tool accessory for fastening and loosening 12-point fasteners and bolts.

## Long description

GEKO T00143-08 is a 1/2" drive 8 mm 12-point (hexalobular) socket designed as a hand tool accessory for precise engagement with 12-point fasteners. Manufactured for general maintenance and repair tasks, this socket offers compatibility with standard 1/2" square drive ratchets and extensions. Its 12-point geometry provides multiple index positions for faster alignment on bolts and nuts in confined spaces while maintaining secure contact to reduce slipping.
Advantages
The 12-point configuration improves accessibility on damaged or rounded fastener heads and allows quicker positioning compared with 6-point sockets. Constructed to fit standard 1/2" square drives, the socket supports common ratchet and breaker bar combinations for hand-operated torque application. Its 8 mm size is suitable for smaller metric fasteners commonly encountered in automotive and mechanical maintenance.
Suitable for
Automotive engine and bodywork fasteners requiring 8 mm sockets
Mechanical maintenance and assembly of small machinery
General repair and service tasks where 12-point access improves alignment
Work in confined spaces where multiple indexing positions are beneficial
Key specifications
Drive size: 1/2" square drive compatibility
Socket size: 8 mm
Point configuration: 12-point (hexalobular)
Recommended use: hand tool accessory for ratchets, extensions and breaker bars
Typical applications: automotive, mechanical maintenance, general repair
How to use
Select the socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension. Place the 12-point socket over the fastener head, ensuring full seating before applying turning force. For removal, turn the ratchet or breaker bar counterclockwise; for tightening, turn clockwise. Use gradual, controlled force to avoid sudden slips; when higher torque is required, use a torque wrench set to the specified value for the fastener.
Usage recommendations
Use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure the socket is fully engaged on the fastener before applying torque. Inspect the socket for wear or damage and replace if rounded or cracked. Avoid using damaged fasteners; if necessary, use penetrating oil or proper extraction tools before applying excessive force.
