Socket Key Proline Gala 12 mm Extended 1/4" drive

Extended 12 mm socket key with a 1/4" drive for fastening and loosening hex fasteners in confined or recessed spaces. The Proline Gala extended socket is made from chrome-vanadium steel and has undergone precise hardening and tempering to ensure appropriate hardness and durability. Its strength characteristics exceed DIN 3124 and PN‑ISO 1711 requirements.

Advantages

The Proline Gala extended socket features specially profiled edges between the working faces — the PRO‑DRIVE system — which reduces excessive point loading and helps protect screw heads and flat surfaces from damage. The extended length improves reach and access in assemblies, furniture and machinery, and the 1/4" drive makes it compatible with common bit holders and ratchets for workshop or DIY use.

Suitable for

• Accessing recessed or hard-to-reach hex fasteners
• Assembly and disassembly of furniture
• Light to medium workshop and maintenance tasks
• Use with 1/4" bit holders and ratchets

How to use

Place the 12 mm socket over the hex fastener and connect the 1/4" drive to a compatible bit holder, extension or ratchet. Apply steady turning force in the required direction to tighten or loosen the fastener. Use the extended length to reach recessed or obstructed fasteners while keeping the tool axis aligned with the fastener to avoid slipping.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the socket size exactly to the fastener and avoid excessive impact force beyond the tool’s intended light to medium-duty use. Store the socket dry to prevent corrosion and inspect regularly for wear or rounding before use.
