## Long description

Proxxon PR23400 is a 6-point 1/2" socket with an 8 mm drive opening, designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and handles. The socket offers a compact form factor and precise hex engagement that reduces slipping and rounding of bolt and nut heads, making it suitable for automotive repair, workshop maintenance and assembly tasks where a secure fit and controlled torque application are required.
Advantages
The 6-point geometry provides improved contact on hex fasteners compared with 12-point designs, reducing the risk of damage to fastener corners. The socket's compact dimensions allow access in confined spaces and make it convenient to use with 1/2" drives. Manufactured to professional standards for mechanical fit and durability, it is intended for repetitive tightening and loosening operations in repair and maintenance environments.

Point configuration: 6-point for secure hex engagement
Form factor: compact socket suitable for confined spaces

How to use
Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or handle and attach the socket onto the square drive until it seats securely. Place the 8 mm hex opening over the fastener head, ensuring full 6-point engagement before applying torque. Turn the ratchet or handle in the required direction to tighten or loosen the fastener. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage periodically and avoid using the socket on rounded or severely damaged fasteners to prevent slippage.
Usage recommendations
Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Clean and store the socket in a dry place after use to maintain fit and prevent corrosion. For high-torque or safety-critical connections, follow manufacturer torque specifications and service procedures.
