## Long description

NEO tools Socket Bit 3/8" 13 mm is a 6-point socket designed to fit hex fasteners and provide reliable torque transfer during tightening and loosening. Made for use with 3/8" drive ratchets and extensions, this socket bit offers a compact form factor suitable for confined spaces and routine workshop tasks.

Compatibility with standard 3/8" drive tools gives broad interoperability with common ratchets and extension bars.

Key specifications
Drive size: 3/8" compatible
Socket size: 13 mm
Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
Intended use: fastening and loosening hex bolts and nuts
Compatibility: fits standard 3/8" ratchets and extensions
How to use
Attach the socket to a 3/8" drive ratchet or extension until it locks in place. Position the socket squarely over the hex fastener to ensure full contact on the flats. Apply controlled torque with the ratchet, reversing direction as needed to tighten or loosen the fastener. For best results, inspect the fastener head for damage before use and maintain steady, even force to avoid cam-out. Remove the socket by pressing the ratchet’s release mechanism or pulling the extension free.
Usage recommendations
Use the 6-point socket on clean, undamaged fastener heads for optimal engagement. Avoid using cheater bars or excessive impact force with non-impact-rated sockets. For frequent or high-torque applications consider using sockets specifically rated for impact use and perform regular visual inspection for wear or deformation.
