Socket bit Torx 1/2" T20 x 55 mm Proxxon PR23488

Proxxon PR23488 Socket bit Torx 1/2" T20 x 55 mm is a precision-machined Torx socket designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and power tool adapters. With a T20 tip and 55 mm overall length, this socket bit provides accurate engagement with Torx fasteners and extends reach into recessed or confined fastening points. It is intended for workshop, automotive and mechanical maintenance where repeatable fit and durable construction are required.

Advantages

The hardened steel construction and precision-machined Torx profile deliver reliable contact with fastener flanks, reducing cam-out and wear. The 1/2" square drive allows compatibility with a wide range of hand and powered tools while the 55 mm length gives additional reach for recessed screws. The standardized T20 size ensures interchangeability with common Torx fasteners used in assembly and repair.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and component assembly
• Mechanical maintenance and machine servicing
• General workshop fastening and disassembly
• Electronics housing and equipment requiring a T20 Torx drive

Key specifications

• Drive type: 1/2" square drive compatible with ratchets and torque tools
• Torx size: T20
• Overall length: 55 mm
• Tip profile: Precision Torx geometry for accurate engagement
• Material: Hardened steel for wear resistance and durability

How to use

Select the socket bit matching the Torx fastener size and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive tool such as a ratchet, breaker bar or adapter for power tools. Insert the T20 tip fully into the fastener recess to ensure full flank contact before applying torque. For controlled tightening, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow manufacturer torque specifications. When loosening seized or corroded fasteners, apply steady force and avoid excessive impact that could damage the Torx profile.

Usage recommendations

Use with properly sized 1/2" drive tools and observe recommended torque limits for the fastener material. Clean and inspect the socket bit tip regularly for rounding or wear; replace if deformation is detected to maintain secure engagement and prevent fastener damage.
