Socket bit Torx 1/2" T30 × 55 mm for drive tools — Proxxon PR23491

Proxxon PR23491 is a 1/2" drive Torx socket bit sized T30 with a 55 mm overall length. It is manufactured for use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and compatible impact drivers to engage T30 Torx fasteners reliably. The medium-length design balances access in recessed applications with sufficient engagement depth for stable torque transfer during fastening and removal operations in workshop, automotive and mechanical maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The Torx T30 socket bit offers precise fit to Torx fasteners, reducing cam-out and wear on both tool and fastener. Its 1/2" drive interface provides compatibility with a wide range of drive tools, while the 55 mm length gives improved reach compared with standard short sockets. The bit is suitable for repeated use in maintenance environments and supports controlled torque application when used with torque-rated drives.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and component removal where T30 fasteners are used
• General workshop maintenance and assembly work
• Mechanical and industrial equipment servicing requiring medium-reach Torx access
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and compatible impact drivers

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Torx size: T30
• Overall length: 55 mm
• Socket style: Torx bit socket for drive tools
• Intended use: fastening and removal of T30 Torx fasteners

How to use

Select a 1/2" drive tool compatible with Torx bit sockets and attach the T30 socket securely to the drive square. Position the Torx tip fully into the fastener recess to ensure proper engagement, then apply torque smoothly. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value and operate the wrench according to the torque tool manufacturer's instructions. For impact driver use, confirm the bit is rated for impacts and ensure the driver and bit are compatible.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the Torx socket before use for signs of wear or damage and replace if the tip is rounded. Use correct drive and torque settings to avoid fastener or tool damage. When working in confined or recessed areas, consider an extension or universal joint designed for 1/2" drive to improve access while maintaining secure engagement.
