Socket bit, NEO tools 3/8" 11 mm 6-point long (08-186)

Long 6-point socket bit by NEO tools with a 3/8" drive and an 11 mm internal size. Designed for use with 3/8" ratchets, extensions and torque tools, this hexagonal socket provides secure engagement on fasteners and extra reach in confined or recessed areas. The 6-point geometry reduces rounding of bolt heads and enables effective transmission of torque for maintenance, mechanical and automotive tasks where controlled force and accessibility are important.

Advantages

The long 6-point design offers deeper reach than standard sockets while maintaining a strong, positive fit on hex fasteners. Compatible with common 3/8" drive tools, the socket supports accurate torque application and stable handling when used with ratchets or torque wrenches. Its construction ensures reliable contact with bolt corners to minimize slippage and wear on fastener edges during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and service tasks where recessed bolts are present
• Mechanical and industrial maintenance requiring controlled torque
• Work with extensions and adapters to access hard-to-reach fasteners
• General workshop and DIY maintenance involving 11 mm hex fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/8" compatible
• Internal size: 11 mm hex (6-point)
• Socket style: long / deep reach
• Contact geometry: 6-point for secure engagement
• Intended use: manual ratchets, extensions and torque tools

How to use

Fit the socket onto a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet, extension or torque wrench before placing it over the hex fastener. Ensure the socket fully seats on the fastener to obtain maximum contact and reduce the risk of rounding. Apply torque gradually and, when precise torque values are required, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications for the fastener. Remove the socket by backing off the fastener and pulling the socket from the drive.

Usage recommendations

Use with corrosion-free, clean fastener faces and matched drive tools. Avoid impact tools unless the socket is rated for impact use. For best results, pair with appropriate extensions and use measured torque for critical assemblies.
