Socket 1/2" 6-point 28 mm NEO tools 08-028

1/2" 6-point socket, 28 mm, from NEO tools is a hand tool attachment designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and breaker bars. The six-point profile engages hexagonal fasteners securely, helping to minimize rounding and allowing efficient transfer of torque for tightening and loosening bolts and nuts. The socket is intended for standard mechanical and maintenance tasks in automotive, industrial and workshop environments.

Advantages

The six-point geometry concentrates wrenching force on the flat sides of fasteners, which improves grip and reduces the risk of slipping or stripping. Precision-machined internal faces ensure consistent engagement with hex heads and contribute to longer fastener life. The 1/2" drive size provides compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and torque tools commonly used in professional and home workshops. The 28 mm diameter covers common bolt sizes encountered in vehicle and equipment maintenance.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and tire/ wheel maintenance
• Machinery maintenance and assembly
• General mechanical and workshop tasks requiring high torque
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Point configuration: 6-point (hexagonal)
• Socket size: 28 mm
• Typical material: hardened chrome-vanadium steel (tool-grade)
• Surface finish: chrome-plated for corrosion resistance

How to use

Select the 28 mm socket for the matching hex fastener and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Place the socket squarely on the fastener head before applying force and ensure full engagement to avoid slippage. Apply turning force smoothly; when using high torque or impact tools, verify the socket and driving tool are rated for the intended load. After use, clean any debris from the socket and store it in a dry tool case to maintain condition.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the socket only on fasteners that fit the 28 mm size and avoid using damaged or rounded fasteners. When precise torque is required, use with a calibrated torque wrench and follow manufacturer torque specifications. Regular inspection for wear or cracking is advised to ensure safe operation.
