Socket, Proxxon 1/2" 24 mm hexagon long (PR23367)

Long 1/2" hexagon socket by Proxxon, size 24 mm, model PR23367 is an elongated hand tool accessory designed to fit 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools. It provides extended reach for hexagonal fasteners and is suitable for accessing recessed nuts and bolts in automotive, mechanical and maintenance applications. The socket's long profile helps reach fasteners in tight or deep spaces while maintaining secure engagement with the hexagon drive.

Advantages

The long 24 mm hexagon socket delivers increased reach compared with standard sockets, allowing access to recessed or obstructed fasteners without removing surrounding components. Machined hex surfaces ensure stable contact with bolts and nuts, reducing the risk of rounding. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools offers versatility across ratchets and torque wrenches. The elongated design also gives better leverage for turning in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs — reaching spark plugs, wheel hub nuts and engine bolts recessed in assemblies
• Mechanical maintenance — servicing machinery with deep-set fasteners
• Industrial maintenance — accessing bolts in equipment housings and panels
• Workshop and DIY tasks where extended reach is necessary

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Socket size: 24 mm hexagon
• Long/extended profile for extra reach
• Designed for use with ratchets and torque tools
• Hexagon internal geometry for secure fastener engagement

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench and attach the long 24 mm hexagon socket firmly to the square drive. Place the socket over the hexagonal fastener, ensuring full seating on the nut or bolt head. Apply turning force evenly through the ratchet or torque tool, monitoring torque values if using a torque wrench. For tight or obstructed areas, use controlled, steady motion to avoid slipping or rounding the fastener edges.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with the correct drive and socket size to avoid damage to fasteners. When applying high torque, verify tool and socket ratings are compatible and use a torque wrench if precise tightening is required. Keep the socket clean and free of debris to maintain proper engagement and inspect periodically for wear or rounding.
