Socket bit 1/4" 12 mm, hexagonal, NEO Tools 08-452

Hexagonal socket bit with a 1/4" drive and 12 mm head diameter from NEO Tools is a compact tool insert intended for use with ratchets, bit holders and screwdrivers that accept a 1/4" interface. The bit is made to engage standard hex fasteners, offering a precise fit for tightening and loosening operations in confined spaces where a small socket profile is required.

Advantages

The 12 mm hexagonal socket bit provides a secure connection to hex bolts and screws, reducing the risk of rounding fastener corners. Its 1/4" drive format ensures compatibility with a wide range of hand and powered bit holders. The compact head diameter and short profile make it suitable for access in tight areas while maintaining torque transfer efficiency. The NEO Tools manufacturing standard ensures dimensional accuracy for repeatable performance.
