Hex socket bit with a 1/4" drive and 5 mm hex head from NEO tools, model 08-222, designed for use with 1/4" ratchets, bit holders and screwdrivers. The compact bit provides accurate torque transfer to 5 mm hex fasteners and is suitable for mechanical, automotive and assembly applications where a standard 1/4" bit system is used.

Advantages

The socket bit is made to fit standard 1/4" drive tools, offering secure engagement and minimal play between driver and fastener. Its compact length allows access in confined spaces while maintaining reliable force transmission. Compatibility with common bit holders and ratchets simplifies toolkits and replacement. The simple construction ensures consistent performance for repeated tightening and loosening operations.

Suitable for

• Mechanical repairs and maintenance
• Automotive fastening and disassembly tasks
• Assembly of furniture, machinery and equipment requiring 5 mm hex fasteners
• Use with 1/4" bit holders, ratchets and manual screwdrivers

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" (6.35 mm) hex drive
• Bit tip: 5 mm hex
• Compatibility: standard 1/4" bit systems, bit holders and ratchets
• Form factor: compact socket bit for confined access
• Primary use: tightening and loosening hex fasteners

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" ratchet, bit holder or screwdriver handle and insert the 1/4" drive end of the bit into the tool until it seats securely. Position the 5 mm hex tip onto the fastener and apply steady torque in the required direction. For threaded fasteners, use controlled force to avoid rounding the hex profile; when using a torque wrench, follow the specified torque setting for the fastener and application.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bit tip regularly for wear or rounding and replace when damaged. Use the bit with tools and torque values appropriate for the fastener material to prevent stripping. Store the bit in a dry place and keep it with your 1/4" bit set or holder to maintain compatibility and accessibility.
