Socket Bit 1/4" 6-point 4.5 mm long — NEO Tools (08-236)

NEO Tools socket bit with a 1/4" drive, 6-point profile and a 4.5 mm working size in a long version. Designed for use with standard 1/4" bit holders, ratchets and driver handles, this socket bit provides extended reach for fastening and removing hexagonal fasteners in tight or recessed locations. The tool is intended for precision mechanical work, electronics assembly and general maintenance tasks that require compact access and controlled torque application.

Advantages

The 6-point profile reduces rounding of fastener corners and ensures a secure fit on hex heads. The long length gives additional accessibility to recessed screws without sacrificing grip stability. Compatibility with 1/4" drive systems makes the bit adaptable to a wide range of hand tools and power drivers. Manufactured to meet typical workshop tolerances, it offers consistent engagement and reliable repeatability for small-diameter fasteners.

Suitable for

• Precision mechanical assemblies and small machinery maintenance
• Electronics and electrical component assembly and disassembly
• Automotive trim and interior fasteners in confined spaces
• General maintenance where extended reach and a 4.5 mm hex engagement are required

Key specifications

• Drive type: 1/4" square drive compatible
• Profile: 6-point (hex) engagement
• Working size: 4.5 mm
• Length: long version for extended reach
• Material and finish: workshop-grade steel with protective coating (typical for hand tool bits)

How to use

Insert the socket bit into a compatible 1/4" bit holder, ratchet or driver handle until it seats firmly. Place the bit over the hexagonal fastener and apply steady torque while keeping the tool aligned with the fastener axis to avoid slippage. For recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners, use the long version to reach the head while maintaining a comfortable working position. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace if deformation or rounding is observed.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate hand torque and avoid excessive force when working with small-diameter fasteners to prevent fastener or bit damage. When using power drivers, select lower torque settings and control speed to preserve both the fastener and the tool profile.
