Socket set Proxxon 23 604 — steel, 12-piece, black finish

Proxxon 23 604 is a 12-piece socket set made of steel with a black finish, intended for general mechanical, workshop and maintenance tasks. The set contains twelve ratchet heads in common sizes suitable for automotive work, repair and routine service. Components are supplied in a robust powder-coated steel case with a strong plastic tray for organised storage and transport.

Advantages

The sockets feature durable steel construction with a corrosion-resistant black finish for improved wear resistance in regular use. A reversible ratchet mechanism allows quick switching between tightening and loosening. The set includes a TPR thermoplastic rubber grip for better handling, a 55 mm extension with open construction and an adapter with a 1/2" (12.5 mm) square drive that increases compatibility with standard workshop tools. Compact packaging in a powder-coated steel box keeps parts protected and sorted.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Steering gear and torsion bar work (common 17 mm and 19 mm sizes)
• Shock absorber maintenance (22 mm)
• Alternator and fan belt pulley work (24 mm)
• General workshop and DIY fastening tasks

Key specifications

• Set size: 12 pieces (ratchet heads)
• Material: steel with black protective finish
• Drive adapter: 1/2" (12.5 mm) square
• Included extension length: 55 mm (open construction)
• Handle: TPR (thermoplastic rubber) grip
• Storage: powder-coated steel case with plastic tray

How to use

Select the socket that matches the fastener size and attach it to the 1/2" square adapter or directly to the ratchet. Use the reversible ratchet to switch between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation as required for tightening or loosening. Fit the 55 mm extension when additional reach is needed or when access is restricted by surrounding components. Keep the TPR grip clean and dry to maintain handling comfort and control during use.

Usage recommendations

For work on steering gears, torsion bars and shock absorbers, check the fastener sizes before starting—this set covers the frequently used 17 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm and 24 mm sizes. Apply appropriate torque using a calibrated torque wrench where specified and avoid excessive force on the ratchet to prolong tool life. Store sockets in the steel case to protect the finish and prevent loss.
