Socket Hex Bit 1/2" H8 x 100 mm long — Proxxon PR23486

Proxxon PR23486 is a long socket hex bit designed for 1/2" drive applications. The bit is H8 (8 mm) in size and extends 100 mm in length, providing extended reach into recessed areas and deep fasteners. It is intended for use with 1/2" ratchets and torque tools where accurate hex engagement and secure retention are required.

Advantages

The long 100 mm length allows access to hard-to-reach fasteners without compromising control. Precision-machined hex geometry ensures correct fit on 8 mm fasteners, reducing cam-out and wear. Its 1/2" drive interface provides a stable connection to compatible ratchets and torque tools, enabling safe torque transfer and repeatable performance in workshop and automotive environments.

Suitable for

• Reaching recessed or deep hex fasteners
• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Workshop and industrial assembly tasks
• Use with 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Hex size: 8 mm (H8)
• Overall length: 100 mm
• Type: Long socket hex bit

How to use

Insert the socket hex bit into a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque tool until it seats securely. Engage the 8 mm hex into the fastener and apply torque evenly, taking care to maintain alignment to avoid rounding the fastener head. For torque-controlled operations, set the torque wrench to the required value and operate according to the torque tool manufacturer's instructions.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bit and the fastener before use for damage or debris. Use the correct hex size to prevent slippage, and avoid applying impact forces unless the bit and tools are rated for such use. Store the bit in a dry place and handle with standard workshop safety practices.
