Socket wrench 1/2" 6-point 14mm long — King Tony KY423514M

King Tony 1/2" 6-point long 14mm socket (model KY423514M) is a precision hand tool designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and breaker bars. The 6-point profile engages hex fasteners securely to reduce rounding and improve torque transfer. Its extended length allows access to recessed nuts and bolts and provides extra reach in confined spaces common in automotive repair and mechanical maintenance.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry ensures firm contact with fastener flats, minimizing slippage and wear. Constructed from heat-treated chrome-vanadium steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, the socket offers durability and consistent performance under repeated use. The long configuration improves accessibility around obstacles and helps align sockets on studs and recessed fittings.

Suitable for

• Automotive engine and chassis maintenance
• Bicycle and motorcycle repairs with recessed fasteners
• Industrial and workshop mechanical assemblies
• Home maintenance tasks requiring extra reach

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Contact profile: 6-point (hex)
• Socket size: 14 mm
• Length: long / extended design for recessed fasteners
• Material: heat-treated chrome-vanadium steel
• Finish: corrosion-resistant plating

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, extension, or breaker bar and attach the socket by pushing it onto the square drive until it locks. Position the 6-point socket squarely onto the hex fastener to ensure full engagement on the flats, then apply steady torque with the ratchet. For tight or rusted fasteners, use controlled force and, when required, a penetrating lubricant and appropriate safety measures. Remove the socket by retracting any detent mechanism on the ratchet or by pulling it off the square drive.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket within the rated capacity of your hand tools; avoid sudden impact loads unless the socket and drive tools are specifically rated for impact use. Keep the socket clean and lightly oiled after use to reduce corrosion. Store in a socket rail or organizer to prevent damage and to maintain easy identification of the 14 mm long 6-point socket.
