Socket bit 1/2" 6-point 27 mm long — NEO tools 08-477

Long 6-point socket bit from NEO tools with a 1/2" drive and a 27 mm socket diameter, model 08-477. The elongated design provides extra reach for working with hex fasteners located in recessed, narrow, or hard-to-reach positions. Constructed for use with hand ratchets, torque wrenches and impact‑resistant extensions, this socket bit delivers a secure 6-point engagement to reduce rounding of fastener heads and improve torque transfer.

Advantages

The long 6-point profile ensures full contact with hexagonal fasteners, minimising slippage and wear on bolt heads. A 1/2" drive offers compatibility with common professional ratchets and torque tools, while the extended length provides access to deeper fastening points without the need for adapter components. The solid construction and precision-machined interior improve fit and torque transmission for repeatable results in workshop and field use.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing hex bolts and nuts in recessed or deep-set locations
• Automotive repair and maintenance where longer reach is required
• Industrial and machinery service tasks with limited access
• Use with hand ratchets, torque wrenches and impact‑resistant extensions

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket profile: 6-point (hex)
• Socket diameter: 27 mm
• Design: long/extended reach
• Compatibility: designed for use with hand ratchets, torque wrenches and impact‑resistant extensions

How to use

Select the socket bit and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive tool such as a ratchet or torque wrench. Position the 6-point socket squarely onto the hex fastener to ensure full contact, then apply steady torque while maintaining alignment to avoid cam‑out. For deep or recessed fasteners, use an impact‑resistant extension if required and follow tool manufacturer guidelines for torque settings and safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket before use for signs of wear or damage. Use the correct drive and avoid excessive side loads. When applying high torque, use a torque wrench and follow torque specifications for the fastener. Store the socket in a dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain precise fit.
