Socket 1/4" 8 mm (6-point) King Tony RF-52508

King Tony Socket 1/4" 8 mm (6-point) RF-52508 is a compact 6-point socket designed for use with 1/4-inch drive ratchets and bit holders. Made for applications requiring access to small hex fasteners, this socket provides a close fit on 8 mm heads to reduce rounding and allow for controlled torque application. Its size and construction make it suitable for tight spaces in automotive, appliance and general mechanical work where precise fastening and repeatability are important.

Advantages

The 6-point profile offers secure engagement with fasteners, minimizing slipping and damage to bolt heads. Compatibility with 1/4" drive tools ensures interchangeability with common ratchets and extensions. The socket's compact length improves access in confined areas and provides stable contact for small fasteners. Durable material and conventional manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent performance during repetitive fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive interior and small-component repairs
• Appliance maintenance and assembly
• Electronic enclosures and light mechanical assemblies
• General household and workshop fastening where 8 mm hex heads are used

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4 inch
• Socket size: 8 mm
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: hand-operated ratchets and bit holders
• Typical applications: tight-space fastening and small fasteners

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, extension, or bit holder and attach the 8 mm socket by pushing it onto the square drive until it engages. Ensure the 6-point faces fully seat on the fastener before applying torque. Apply steady, controlled force appropriate to the fastener material and size; avoid sudden impacts or excessive torque that could damage the fastener or socket. After use, wipe clean and store with other sockets to prevent corrosion and loss.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and avoid using cheater bars or impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. For best results in confined areas, pair with short extensions or universal joints designed for 1/4" drive to maintain access and alignment.
