Socket key 1/4" Proline Gala 13 mm extended

Proline Gala 1/4" 13 mm extended socket key is a single 1/4-inch drive tool designed for tightening and loosening 13 mm nuts and bolts. The extended length improves access to recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners, making it compatible with 1/4" ratchets and bit holders for precise torque application and easier handling. Constructed from chrome-vanadium steel and heat-treated for hardness and durability, this socket meets high durability standards.

Advantages

The socket is made of chrome-vanadium steel and undergoes precise hardening and tempering to ensure appropriate hardness and strength. Its durability exceeds DIN 3124 and PN-ISO 1711 requirements. The specially profiled edges between the tool faces use the PRO-DRIVE system to reduce excessive point loading and protect fastener heads and flat edges from damage.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs and maintenance
• Household fastening tasks
• Workshop and professional mechanical work
• Accessing recessed or tight fasteners

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" ratchet or bit holder and attach the 13 mm Proline Gala extended socket. Place the socket squarely over the nut or bolt head, ensuring the PRO-DRIVE profiled edges engage the fastener face to reduce slipping. Apply torque steadily and avoid sudden impacts; for removal, turn counterclockwise, and for fastening, turn clockwise. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry toolbox to maintain condition.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with 1/4" drive tools within their rated torque limits. Avoid using the socket with impact tools unless specified by the manufacturer. Regularly inspect the socket for wear or rounded edges and replace if deformities are found to prevent fastener damage.
