Socket set NEO tools 10-313 — 1/4" drive imperial socket, lightweight 16 g

NEO tools 10-313 is a single 1/4" drive imperial socket in H6 hexagonal form, designed for precision fastening and replacement of lost or damaged components. The socket measures 37 mm in length and is manufactured from chrome vanadium steel for enhanced durability. Its compact and lightweight construction (16 g) makes it suitable for use in confined spaces and for tasks requiring accurate torque control. This socket is compatible with standard 1/4" drive ratchets and handles and is provided as a standalone short-piece solution for maintenance, repair and assembly work.

Advantages

The chrome vanadium steel construction provides resistance to wear and a prolonged service life under regular use. At 37 mm length and weighing only 16 g, the socket combines reach with low mass, improving access to tight or recessed fasteners while reducing hand fatigue during repetitive operations. The H6 hex profile ensures a precise fit on matching fasteners, minimizing rounding and slippage. Its standardized 1/4" drive interface allows straightforward integration with common ratchets, extensions and torque tools.

Suitable for

• Precision fastening on machinery and industrial equipment
• Electronics assembly and maintenance where small fasteners are used
• Bicycle repairs and adjustments requiring compact tools
• Light automotive work and component replacement
• Replacement of lost or damaged socket kit components

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" compatible
• Socket type: H6 hexagonal
• Length: 37 mm (short piece)
• Material: chrome vanadium steel
• Weight: approximately 16 g
• Surface finish: corrosion-resistant treatment (factory applied)

How to use

Select the 1/4" drive ratchet or handle that matches your torque requirements and attach the H6 socket by pressing it firmly onto the drive square. Place the hex socket over the corresponding fastener and apply steady torque, ensuring the socket is fully seated on the fastener to avoid rounding. For disassembly, reverse the turning direction and keep control of the fastener to prevent drops. After use, clean debris from the socket and store it with other 1/4" drive tools to maintain organization and prevent loss.

Usage recommendations

Use with a properly rated 1/4" drive ratchet or torque wrench to avoid overstressing the socket. Inspect the socket before each use for cracks, deformation or excessive wear. Avoid using the socket with impact tools unless explicitly marked suitable for impact use. Store in a dry environment and apply light lubrication to the drive square periodically to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth engagement.
