Socket bit Torx 1/2" Proxxon T55 × 55 mm (PR23492)

Proxxon Torx socket bit for 1/2" drive, size T55 with a 55 mm overall length. This tool is made for working with Torx fasteners in mechanical, automotive and assembly tasks where a 1/2" ratchet or compatible drive is used. The bit provides accurate engagement with Torx heads and a length that reaches recessed fasteners while maintaining access for hand and some powered tools.

Advantages

The T55 × 55 mm Torx socket bit offers a precise drive fit to reduce cam-out and wear on fastener heads. Its 1/2" drive compatibility allows use with a wide range of ratchets, torque wrenches and some impact tools. The 55 mm overall length improves access to recessed or slightly obstructed Torx screws while retaining control during tightening or loosening operations.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where Torx fasteners are used
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of machinery and equipment
• Workshop and garage tasks requiring 1/2" drive tools
• Electromechanical service work with medium-depth fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Torx size: T55
• Overall length: 55 mm
• Designed for use with ratchets, torque wrenches and compatible impact tools
• Intended for fastening and loosening Torx fasteners

How to use

Select the T55 Torx socket bit and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or compatible impact adaptor. Align the Torx tip with the fastener head and apply steady rotational force, taking care to maintain axial pressure to prevent stripping. When using a torque wrench, set the correct torque value for the fastener material and application. After use, inspect the tip for wear and store the bit in a suitable holder to protect the drive profile.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket bit with tools rated for the application and avoid excessive side loading. For torque-critical fasteners, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow manufacturer torque specifications. Replace the bit if the Torx tip shows rounding or damage to ensure consistent engagement and to prevent damage to fasteners.
