Socket bit (6-point) NEO tools 3/8" drive 13 mm long (08-188)

Long 6-point socket bit from NEO tools with a 3/8" drive and 13 mm diameter. The chrome-finished socket is designed to fit 6-point hex fasteners and provides extended reach for recessed or hard-to-access applications. Intended for use with compatible 3/8" ratchets and torque tools, this socket bit combines straightforward geometry with a long profile to improve access while maintaining engagement strength on nuts and bolts.

Advantages

The 6-point design reduces rounding of fastener corners and helps deliver secure torque transfer. The long profile increases accessibility for recessed fasteners and tight spaces without the need for additional extensions. Chrome finish offers corrosion resistance and simplifies cleaning after use. Constructed to match standard 3/8" drive tools, the socket bit ensures reliable fitment and consistent performance in workshop and maintenance environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where recessed hex fasteners are common
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks requiring extended reach
• General workshop and maintenance work with 3/8" drive tools
• Use with torque wrenches for controlled tightening of 6-point fasteners

Key specifications

• Socket geometry: 6-point hex
• Drive size: 3/8"
• Socket diameter: 13 mm
• Profile: long / extended reach
• Surface finish: chrome

How to use

Select a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or torque tool and attach the socket until it seats securely on the drive. Position the 13 mm 6-point socket over the hex fastener, ensuring full engagement of all six contact faces before applying torque. For tight or recessed locations use the extended length to reach the fastener while keeping the drive tool aligned to avoid slipping. After use, wipe the chrome surface clean and inspect for wear or damage before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use this socket bit with tools rated for the required torque and avoid using excessive impact forces unless the socket is specified for impact use. Match the 13 mm 6-point profile to corresponding fasteners to minimize rounding and ensure safe, effective operation. Store in a dry place to preserve the chrome finish.
