Socket 1/2" 16 mm, 6-point, NEO tools 08-416

1/2" 16 mm 6-point socket from NEO tools is designed for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. The tool fits 16 mm hex bolts and nuts and features a six-point profile to reduce rounding and deliver direct torque transfer. Constructed for workshop and field use, the socket supports common mechanical, automotive and machinery maintenance tasks that require reliable engagement on standard metric fasteners.

Advantages

The six-point geometry provides firm contact with hex fasteners, minimizing wear on bolt heads and improving torque accuracy. Built to fit a 1/2" drive, the socket is compatible with a wide range of ratchets and torque tools used in professional and DIY settings. The compact length and solid construction provide durability under repeated use, while the standard 16 mm size covers many common fastening points on vehicles and equipment.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel and suspension work
• General machinery and equipment maintenance
• Workshop assembly and disassembly of metric fasteners
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and breaker bars

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket size: 16 mm (hex)
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: manual turning with ratchets, breaker bars and torque tools
• Typical applications: automotive, industrial maintenance, mechanical repairs

How to use

Select the socket for the matching 16 mm hex fastener and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or breaker bar. Engage the socket fully onto the nut or bolt head to ensure maximum contact on all six points before applying torque. For torque-sensitive applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the fastener manufacturer's torque specification. After use, wipe the socket clean and store it in a protective rack or case to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with tools rated for the intended torque; avoid impact tools unless the socket is specifically marked for impact use. Regularly inspect the socket for wear or rounding, and replace if deformation or cracking appears to maintain safe and effective operation.
