Socket Bit NEO tools 1/2" Hex H17 x 55 mm, model 08-777

NEO tools 1/2" Hex H17 x 55 mm socket bit is a single-piece hex (imbus) insert designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools. With a nominal H17 hex interface and a 55 mm overall length, this socket bit allows controlled engagement with H17 fasteners in applications that require a robust connection and reliable torque transfer. The tool is intended for tasks in automotive repair, industrial maintenance and other mechanical assemblies where a standardized hex bit is necessary.

Advantages

The socket bit offers a precise hex fit for H17 fasteners, reducing play and rounding during tightening or loosening. Its 1/2" drive compatibility ensures straightforward use with common ratchets and torque wrenches. The 55 mm length provides improved reach in recessed or partially obstructed fastener locations while maintaining good control and stability. Materials and finish give the bit adequate resistance to wear under typical workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance tasks requiring H17 fasteners
• Industrial assembly and service operations with 1/2" drive tools
• Maintenance and repair of machinery where a robust hex bit is needed

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Inner profile: hex (imbus) H17
• Length: 55 mm
• Construction: single-piece socket bit suitable for ratchets and torque tools

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench and insert the drive end of the socket bit into the tool. Engage the H17 hex end with the matching fastener, ensuring full contact to minimize slippage. Apply torque within the limits of the bit and the fastener; when using a torque wrench, set the required torque value and operate according to the wrench manufacturer's instructions. After use, inspect the hex profile for rounding or damage and store the bit in a dry, organized toolset to avoid corrosion and loss.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket bit with tools and fasteners rated for the required torque; avoid excessive impact or over-torquing that can deform either the bit or the fastener. For precise torque applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and verify fastener engagement before applying load.
