Socket bit 1/4" 6‑point long 4 mm, NEO tools 08-235

Long 6-point 1/4" socket bit, 4 mm, by NEO tools. This socket bit is intended for use with 1/4" bit holders, ratchets and compatible screwdrivers to reach recessed or hard-to-access fasteners. Manufactured from steel with a long shank, it transfers torque effectively while the hexagonal 6-point profile minimises rounding of bolt heads and improves contact with fasteners.

Advantages

The long 4 mm 6-point design provides deeper reach compared with short bits while maintaining a firm hex engagement with fasteners. Steel construction ensures durability and reliable torque transmission. The 1/4" drive size makes it compatible with a wide range of hand tools and bit holders, offering versatility for repair, assembly and maintenance work.

Suitable for

• Accessing recessed hex screws and bolts in mechanical assemblies
• Maintenance and repair tasks on machinery and equipment
• Assembly work where extra reach is required
• Use with 1/4" bit holders, ratchets and manual drivers

Key specifications

• Drive type: 1/4" (6.35 mm) hex drive
• Tip profile: 6-point (hexagonal)
• Bit size: 4 mm
• Shank length: long (extended reach)
• Material: steel

How to use

Insert the socket bit into a compatible 1/4" bit holder, ratchet or screwdriver. Engage the 6-point tip fully into the hex fastener to ensure correct contact before applying torque. Use steady, controlled force to tighten or loosen fasteners and avoid sudden impacts that may damage the bit or fastener. After use, clean any debris from the tip and store the bit in a suitable holder to prevent corrosion and preserve its profile.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the 4 mm 6-point bit to fasteners of the same size and avoid using the bit on rounded or damaged heads. When working in confined or recessed areas, use a tool with a secure bit retention mechanism to prevent slippage. Inspect the bit regularly for wear and replace it when signs of rounding or deformation appear.
