Socket bit hex 1/2" Proxxon H7 x 100 mm long (PR23485)

Proxxon hex socket bit for 1/2" drive, size H7 with 100 mm length is a long-reach tool designed for driving and removing hex (imbus) fasteners. The bit is manufactured to fit H7 tolerance for a precise engagement with hex bolts and screws, reducing play and wear. Its extended 100 mm length allows access to recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners in workshop, automotive and maintenance environments while maintaining compatibility with standard 1/2" drive sockets and adapters.

Advantages

The H7 tolerance provides a tight, accurate fit to hex fasteners, minimizing rounding and slippage. The 100 mm length gives extended reach without sacrificing control. Made by Proxxon, the bit is produced to consistent dimensional standards suitable for professional and hobby use. The 1/2" drive compatibility ensures easy integration with existing socket sets and drive tools.

Suitable for

• Reaching recessed hex bolts in engine bays and machinery
• Maintenance and repair tasks in tight or deep cavities
• Automotive work where extended socket length is required
• Workshop assembly and disassembly of equipment with hex fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Hex profile size: H7
• Overall bit length: 100 mm
• Material and finish: manufactured to Proxxon quality standards (metal alloy appropriate for socket bits)
• Intended fit: precision H7 tolerance for hex fasteners

How to use

Attach the socket bit to a 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench as required. Insert the hex end fully onto the fastener to ensure engagement with the H7 profile before applying torque. Use steady, controlled torque to avoid cam-out or rounding of the fastener head. For deep or recessed fasteners, verify alignment and apply force along the axis of the fastener to maintain contact and prevent slippage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the fastener and bit for damage before use. Use the correct H7 hex size for the fastener to preserve tool life and prevent damage to bolt heads. When working with high torque requirements, use a suitable torque tool and avoid sudden impacts; consider using a torque limiter or breaker bar for stubborn fasteners. Store the bit in a dry, protected location and keep drive connections clean to ensure reliable performance.
