Long 14 mm hex socket bit with a 1/4" drive from NEO tools, model 08-247. The extended design provides additional reach for accessing recessed hex fasteners and confined spaces. It is intended for use with 1/4" ratchet handles, bit holders and power screwdrivers equipped with a 1/4" quick-release or magnetic adapter, offering a compact long-reach solution where a standard socket would not fit.
Advantages
The extended 14 mm hex bit combines a long reach with a 1/4" drive interface, enabling access to fasteners in deep or narrow openings without switching to larger drive tools. Manufactured by NEO tools, it is built to maintain torsional strength while minimizing length-related flex. Its 14 mm hex profile provides a secure fit on matching bolts and screws, reducing the risk of rounding. The compact diameter and length make it convenient for use with bit holders, ratchet drivers, and compact power tools.
Suitable for
- Automotive repair tasks requiring access to recessed hex bolts
- Mechanical maintenance and equipment assembly in confined spaces
- Furniture assembly and installation where a long reach is needed
- Workshop use with 1/4" ratchet handles, bit holders or screwdriver adapters
Key specifications
- Bit type: hex (Allen) socket
- Size: 14 mm across flats
- Drive: 1/4" (6.35 mm) drive interface
- Length: extended/long design for deep access
- Material and finish: hardened steel construction (manufacturer standard)
How to use
Insert the 1/4" drive end of the socket bit into a compatible ratchet, bit holder or quick-change adapter. Place the 14 mm hex socket over the hex fastener, ensuring full seating to avoid slipping. Apply controlled torque with the ratchet or driver, taking care not to exceed the tool or fastener’s recommended torque limits. For confined spaces, align the driver and bit straight to minimize bending and to maintain secure engagement.
Usage recommendations
Use the bit with appropriately rated 1/4" drive tools and avoid impact use unless the manufacturer specifies impact-rated construction. Inspect the socket bit for wear or damage before use and replace if the hex profile shows rounding. Keep the bit clean and lightly oiled to reduce corrosion when storing for extended periods.
