Socket bit 1/4" 6-point long 9 mm NEO tools 08-242

Long 1/4" 6-point socket bit, 9 mm diameter from NEO tools (model 08-242). This hardened steel socket bit is designed for use with 1/4" bit holders, ratchets or drivers and provides secure engagement with 6-point hex fasteners. Its extended length allows access to recessed or confined fasteners while maintaining torsional strength and precise fit. The tool is intended for assembly, maintenance and repair work across automotive, mechanical and general DIY applications.

Advantages

The 6-point design minimizes rounding of hex fasteners and ensures even load distribution under torque. Hardened construction increases wear resistance and extends service life in repeated use. Compatibility with standard 1/4" bit holders and ratchets offers flexible use across common hand tools. The long profile improves reach into tight or recessed areas without sacrificing engagement stability.

Suitable for

• Reaching recessed hex bolts and nuts in automotive repairs
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks
• General maintenance and household DIY projects
• Work with 1/4" bit holders, torque drivers and ratchets

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" compatible
• Socket profile: 6-point (hex)
• Socket diameter: 9 mm
• Length: long / extended profile for recessed access
• Material: hardened tool steel for increased wear resistance
• Typical use: hand tool attachment for bit holders, drivers and ratchets

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" bit holder, driver or ratchet and insert the socket bit until it seats securely. Position the 6-point socket over the hex fastener and apply torque steadily to avoid slipping. For tight spaces, use the extended length to reach recessed fasteners while maintaining straight alignment to prevent cam-out. After use, clean off debris and store the bit in a protective holder to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate safety equipment and avoid applying sudden impact loads beyond hand-tool torque limits. Match the 9 mm 6-point socket to properly sized hex fasteners to prevent rounding; do not force fit on damaged fasteners. Regularly inspect the bit for wear and replace if deformation or cracking occurs.
