Socket 1/2" 24mm NEO tools 6-point (model 08-024)

1/2" drive 24 mm 6-point socket from NEO tools, model 08-024, is a hand tool designed to engage 24 mm hex fasteners with a 6-point profile for improved contact and torque transfer. It accepts standard 1/2" ratchets and drive tools, providing a compact length and solid build suitable for routine mechanical tasks. The socket's 6-point geometry reduces rounded-corner slippage on worn fasteners and concentrates force on flats for dependable turning.

Advantages

The 6-point design ensures a secure fit on 24 mm hex heads, minimizing slip and damage to fasteners. Compatibility with 1/2" drives makes the socket versatile for use with ratchets, extensions and breaker bars commonly found in automotive and workshop toolsets. Constructed to withstand typical workshop torque loads, the socket provides reliable engagement and consistent performance for repetitive tightening and loosening tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs — wheel nuts, suspension and engine fasteners sized 24 mm
• Mechanical maintenance in workshops and production settings
• General workshop tasks requiring a 24 mm hex socket with 1/2" drive
• Use with ratchets, extensions and breaker bars for assembly and disassembly

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Socket size: 24 mm (hex)
• Point configuration: 6-point
• Intended use: manual torque application with ratchet, extension or breaker bar
• Typical construction: hardened chrome-plated alloy steel for wear resistance

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar and attach the socket securely to the drive square. Place the socket fully over the 24 mm fastener ensuring full engagement of the 6-point recess with the fastener flats. Apply steady torque in the required direction, taking care to maintain alignment to reduce the risk of rounding the fastener. For high-torque removal, use a suitable breaker bar or an appropriate extension to increase leverage, and avoid sudden impacts that exceed the socket's intended manual torque range.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener before use; do not use if the socket shows cracking or excessive wear. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow safe torque practices. Store the socket dry and clean to prevent corrosion and prolong service life.
