Socket wrench bit, NEO tools 1/2" 32 mm long six-point (08-482)

Long six-point socket for 1/2" drive by NEO tools, size 32 mm, model 08-482. This elongated socket is designed for turning hexagonal fasteners with a 1/2" square drive, providing extended reach to access recessed or hard-to-reach bolts. The six-point profile ensures consistent contact with fastener flats to reduce rounding and improve torque transfer, making it suitable for automotive repair, machinery maintenance and general workshop applications where reach and secure engagement are required.

Advantages

The long six-point design provides deeper access to fasteners while maintaining strong contact on hexagonal heads to reduce slipping and rounding. Manufactured for use with a 1/2" drive, the socket offers compatibility with common ratchets, breakers and extension bars. The extended length increases versatility in confined spaces and when working around obstructions, while the six-point geometry focuses torque on flats rather than corners for improved durability and reliable performance.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel, engine or suspension fasteners
• Machinery maintenance and industrial equipment service
• Workshop tasks where bolts are recessed or located in tight spaces
• General DIY projects requiring a 32 mm socket with extended reach

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Socket size: 32 mm (hexagonal / six-point)
• Type: long / deep six-point socket
• Intended use: turning hexagonal fasteners; access to recessed bolts

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench and fit the socket securely onto the drive square. Push the socket fully onto the fastener head until it seats on the flats, not the corners, to ensure maximum contact. Apply torque gradually and maintain alignment between the tool and fastener to avoid slippage. For high-torque applications, use a breaker bar or torque wrench rated for the required torque and avoid extending the drive with improvised cheater bars.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before use. Use the long six-point socket to engage hexagonal flats and avoid applying impact-style loads unless the socket is explicitly rated for impact use. Store the socket in a dry toolbox to prevent corrosion and periodically check fitment with your drive tools to ensure safe, reliable operation.
