Socket bit 1/4" 6-point long 11 mm NEO tools 08-244

Socket bit 1/4" 6-point long 11 mm NEO tools 08-244 is a long 1/4" 6-point socket bit intended for use with 1/4" bit holders and ratchets. The 11 mm hex profile provides a secure 6-point contact with hexagonal fasteners, improving torque transfer and minimising rounding on bolts and nuts. Its extended length is suitable for reaching recessed or hard-to-access fasteners in assembly, maintenance and repair work.

Advantages

The long 6-point profile combines secure engagement and even load distribution across fastener faces, reducing the risk of damage during tightening or loosening. Compatibility with standard 1/4" bit holders and ratchets ensures straightforward integration into common tool sets. The extended shank length enhances reach in confined spaces while maintaining a compact 1/4" drive footprint for handheld and power-assisted use.

Suitable for

• Assembly of furniture and equipment where recessed fasteners are present
• Automotive and bicycle maintenance requiring precise torque transfer
• General repair tasks in workshops and domestic environments with limited access

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4"
• Point type: 6-point (hexagonal)
• Socket size: 11 mm
• Length: long/extended shank for recessed fasteners
• Compatibility: designed for use with 1/4" bit holders and ratchets

How to use

Select a 1/4" bit holder or ratchet compatible with the socket bit. Insert the bit into the holder until it locks, then place the 11 mm 6-point end onto the fastener. Apply steady torque, keeping the driver aligned with the fastener axis to ensure full contact on all six points. Use controlled force when loosening tight fasteners to avoid slipping; when using power tools, set torque limits or use short bursts to prevent overtightening.

Usage recommendations

For best results, inspect fastener heads for damage before use, keep the socket bit clean and free of debris, and store it in a dry place. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow manufacturer guidelines for torque values to avoid damage to fasteners and tools.
