Socket 1/2" 14mm long, 6-point, NEO tools 08-464

Long 6-point socket by NEO tools, size 14 mm with a 1/2" drive (model 08-464). Designed to be used with 1/2" ratchets and torque tools, this socket provides extended reach for recessed or hard-to-access hexagonal fasteners. The six-point profile matches the shape of standard hex heads to minimise rounding and deliver reliable contact under torque. Its extended length makes it suitable for automotive, mechanical and maintenance work where a standard short socket cannot reach.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry ensures a secure fit on hexagonal bolts and nuts, reducing the risk of slippage and rounding. The long profile increases access depth, allowing work on recessed fasteners without removing surrounding components. Manufactured to NEO tools standards for consistent fit with 1/2" drives, the socket is suitable for use with ratchets and torque wrenches where controlled torque application is required. Its durable finish resists corrosion and wear during regular workshop use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and engine maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of machinery
• Maintenance tasks in workshops and industrial settings
• Situations requiring access to recessed bolts and studs

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Socket size: 14 mm
• Point design: 6-point (hex)
• Length: long / extended reach
• Intended use: manual ratchets and torque tools
• Finish: corrosion-resistant workshop finish

How to use

Select the 14 mm long socket and secure it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Position the socket squarely over the hexagonal fastener, ensuring full seating of the 6-point profile before applying torque. For tightening, apply steady force and observe torque specifications if using a torque wrench. For loosening, turn in the appropriate direction while maintaining axial alignment to prevent rounding. After use, clean debris from the socket and store it in a socket rail or toolbox to maintain condition.

Usage recommendations

Use this long 14 mm 6-point socket when fasteners are recessed or obstructed by nearby components. For high-torque applications, pair the socket with a matched 1/2" torque wrench and avoid cheater bars on hand tools. Regularly inspect the socket for wear and replace if the contact surfaces show rounding or deformation to ensure safe and effective operation.
