Socket bit for wrench GEKO T00144-13, 13.0 mm long, CrV, 1/2" drive

GEKO T00144-13 socket bit is a 13.0 mm long, 1/2" drive accessory made from chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel for use with compatible wrenches and ratchets. It is designed to engage hexagonal nuts and bolts of the corresponding size and for repeated mechanical use in workshop and automotive environments. The socket's design focuses on fit, torque transfer and resistance to wear under normal professional and hobbyist usage.

Advantages

The CrV steel construction offers a balance of hardness and toughness, improving wear resistance and reducing the likelihood of rounding fastener heads. The 1/2" drive interface provides secure attachment to standard ratchets and breaker bars, enabling efficient torque application. The 13.0 mm size and 13.0 mm length deliver accessibility to moderately recessed fasteners while keeping control and stability during operation.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening 13.0 mm hex nuts and bolts
• Automotive repairs and routine vehicle maintenance
• Workshop assembly, disassembly and machinery servicing
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, wrenches and extension tools

Key specifications

• Socket size: 13.0 mm
• Length: 13.0 mm
• Drive type: 1/2"
• Material: Chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel
• Geometry: Standard hexagon internal profile for nuts and bolts

How to use

Select the GEKO 13.0 mm socket bit and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or breaker bar. Position the socket over the fastener head, ensuring full seating on the hex profile to avoid slipping. Apply steady torque in the appropriate direction to loosen or tighten the fastener. When accessing recessed or obstructed fasteners, consider using an extension or universal joint while maintaining controlled force to prevent damage to the tool or fastener.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Inspect the socket for cracks or excessive wear before use and avoid using damaged sockets. For high-torque applications, use a torque wrench to apply the specified torque and consider impact-rated tools only if the socket is explicitly rated for impact use.
