Socket Bit Torx 1/2" Proxxon T50 x 55 mm (PR23494)

The Proxxon Socket Bit Torx 1/2" T50 x 55 mm is a purpose-built tool for driving Torx fasteners with a 1/2-inch drive. It combines a long 55 mm length with a precisely formed T50 Torx profile to reach recessed or hard-to-access screws while maintaining a secure engagement that minimizes cam-out. The bit is intended for use with 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches, or breaker bars in mechanical, automotive and industrial environments where durability and accurate fit are required.

Advantages

The Torx profile provides greater contact area between bit and fastener, reducing wear on both components and improving torque transfer. The 55 mm length allows access to deeper fasteners without compromising control. Machined geometry ensures a precise fit to standard Torx heads, and compatibility with 1/2" drive tools offers robust connection for higher torque applications. The design balances reach and strength for repetitive professional use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance: transmission, engine and bodywork fasteners.
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in workshops and factories.
• Industrial maintenance where recessed Torx screws are present.
• Use with 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and breaker bars for higher torque tasks.

Key specifications

• T50 Torx tip size for standard Torx fasteners.
• 55 mm overall bit length for extended reach.
• Designed for 1/2" square drive connection.
• Suitable for high-torque manual and workshop tool use.

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive tool, insert the Torx socket bit into the tool's square drive until it seats firmly, and align the T50 tip with the fastener head. Apply steady torque while maintaining axial alignment to avoid slipping or damaging the fastener. For removal, reverse the operation and, if necessary, use penetrating lubricant on seized screws before applying increased torque. Inspect the bit for wear before use and replace if the tip shows rounding or deformation.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket bit with hand-operated 1/2" drive tools for controlled torque applications and with appropriate protective equipment. Avoid using damaged bits or excessive impact with power tools not rated for the bit; when higher torque or impact use is required, confirm compatibility with the drive tool and fastener material.
