Socket 1/2" 6-point Proxxon 10 mm long (PR23355)

Proxxon 1/2" 6-point socket, 10 mm long is a hexagonal drive accessory intended for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools. Its 6-point internal profile provides firm contact with fastener heads to reduce rounding, while the extended 10 mm length helps reach recessed bolts and nuts in confined spaces. The socket is designed to meet the needs of automotive, mechanical and general maintenance work where precise fit and reliable torque transfer are required.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry ensures maximum contact area on fasteners, reducing the risk of slipping and damage. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools offers robust torque transmission for demanding applications. The 10 mm overall length gives improved access compared with standard shallow sockets, allowing work in tighter recesses without sacrificing strength or stability. The socket's precision dimensions support accurate fit and consistent performance during repetitive use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Workshop and industrial maintenance tasks
• Tight or recessed fasteners where extra reach is needed

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Internal profile: 6-point (hexagonal)
• Nominal socket size: 10 mm
• Length: 10 mm (extended compared with shallow sockets)
• Intended use: manual ratchets and torque tools

How to use

Select the socket corresponding to the 10 mm fastener head and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Align the 6-point socket with the fastener, engage fully to ensure a secure fit, and apply torque evenly. For tightening to specified torque values, use a calibrated torque tool and follow the manufacturer's torque specifications. When removing fasteners, maintain steady pressure and avoid sudden jerks to prevent rounding or slippage.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for 1/2" drives and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specified for impact use. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before applying high torque. For calibrated tightening, always use a verified torque wrench and follow safety practices for hand tools.
