Socket 1/2" 6-point 24 mm long, NEO tools (08-474)

Long 6-point socket from NEO tools, size 24 mm with a 1/2" square drive. The extended length provides extra reach for recessed or hard-to-access hex fasteners. Compatible with hand ratchets and power torque tools that accept a 1/2" drive, this socket is intended for general workshop, automotive and maintenance use where a longer profile is required to engage fasteners without removing surrounding components.

Advantages

The 6-point internal profile reduces rounding of hex fasteners by maximizing contact on the flats, while the long body gives clearance for bolts recessed in housings or behind obstacles. Manufactured for use with standard 1/2" drive tools, the socket balances strength and accessibility for repeated use. The 24 mm size covers common fastener dimensions in vehicle and equipment assemblies.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel and suspension work where deeper sockets are needed
• Mechanical maintenance in workshops and industrial equipment servicing
• Repair tasks on agricultural and construction machinery with recessed fasteners
• General fastening and loosening tasks using 1/2" drive ratchets or torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Socket type: 6-point (hex) internal profile
• Drive size: 1/2" square drive (accepts 1/2" ratchets and extensions)
• Nominal size: 24 mm
• Profile: long/extended length for recessed bolts
• Intended use: manual and compatible torque tool applications

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench and attach the socket securely to the square drive. Place the socket squarely over the 24 mm hex fastener and apply steady torque in the required direction. For removal of seized fasteners, use controlled, incremental force and consider applying penetrating fluid or heat where appropriate. After use, inspect the socket for wear or damage and store it on a socket rail or in a tool case to preserve the drive interface and hex profile.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque to avoid damaging the fastener or the tool. Avoid using cheater bars or excessive impact on standard hand sockets unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Clean and lightly lubricate the square drive periodically to maintain reliable engagement.
