## Long description

Proxxon PR23408 is a 6-point 12 mm socket for 1/2" drive tools, designed for manual and ratchet use. The socket fits 12 mm hex heads and is intended for workshop, maintenance and automotive applications where reliable torque transfer and reduced rounding of fasteners are important. Compact and robust, it complements tool sets that require a 1/2" interface and a precise fit on common metric fasteners.
Advantages
The six-point geometry ensures full-face contact with nuts and bolts, minimising the risk of rounding and slipping. Manufactured by Proxxon, the socket is produced to consistent dimensional tolerances for secure fit and accurate torque delivery. Its 1/2" drive compatibility allows use with standard ratchets, extension bars and torque wrenches, making it versatile for various repair and assembly tasks.
Suitable for
 Automotive repair and maintenance tasks requiring a 12 mm socket
 Workshop and garage use with 1/2" drive ratchets and extensions
 General assembly and disassembly of metric fasteners
 Maintenance jobs on machinery and equipment that use 12 mm hex heads
Key specifications
 Socket size: 12 mm
 Drive type: 1/2" (square drive)
 Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
 Intended use: hand and ratchet operation
 Material and finish: manufactured to Proxxon quality standards (steel alloy with protective finish)
How to use
Select the 12 mm Proxxon socket and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension. Position the socket squarely on the hex head of the fastener to ensure full contact of the six points, then apply steady rotational force to tighten or loosen. For controlled torque applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and apply the specified torque values for the fastener and material involved. When loosening seized or corroded fasteners, work gradually and consider using penetrating lubricant or heat where appropriate.
Usage recommendations
Use the socket only on compatible 12 mm hex fasteners and with 1/2" drive tools. Avoid using cheater bars or excessive impact forces on hand sockets; for impact applications, use sockets specifically rated for impact use. Keep the socket clean and inspect for wear or rounding before use to maintain safe and reliable operation.
