Socket 1/2" 14 mm long, Proxxon PR23359

Long 1/2" 14 mm hex socket by Proxxon is a precision tool designed for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque tools. The extended length allows access to recessed and hard-to-reach 14 mm fasteners while maintaining a secure fit on the hex head. Manufactured to fit standard 14 mm nuts and bolts, this long socket is intended for workshop, automotive repair and general mechanical maintenance tasks requiring extra reach and reliable torque transfer.

Advantages

The extended profile provides improved reach into deep or recessed fasteners without the need to disassemble surrounding components. Machined hex geometry ensures accurate engagement with 14 mm fasteners to reduce rounding and slipping. Built for compatibility with 1/2-inch drive tools, it supports higher torque applications compared with smaller drive sizes. Durable material and a finish resistant to corrosion contribute to long service life under normal workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair — wheel bolts, engine components and suspension fasteners
• Mechanical maintenance — machinery and equipment where recessed 14 mm fasteners are present
• Assembly and disassembly — production lines or workshop tasks requiring extended reach
• Home and professional workshops — general use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Screw head fit: 14 mm hex
• Drive size: 1/2 inch (square drive)
• Length: long/extended profile for recessed fasteners
• Material and finish: hardened steel with corrosion-resistant surface treatment
• Intended use: manual ratchet and torque tool compatibility for higher torque applications

How to use

Select a 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench and attach the socket to the square drive. Place the 14 mm socket over the fastener head, ensuring full seating on the hex profile before applying torque. For torque-critical joints, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the manufacturer’s specified torque values. When removing stuck fasteners, apply steady controlled force and avoid sudden impacts that could damage the socket or fastener.

Usage recommendations

Store the socket in a dry toolbox or socket rail to prevent corrosion. Inspect the hex profile periodically for wear; replace the socket if rounding or deformation is visible. Use the correct drive size and avoid levering with cheater bars beyond the tool’s rated torque to maintain safe operation and extend service life.
