Socket bit Proxxon Torx long 1/2" T45 x 100 mm PR23496

The Proxxon Torx long socket bit T45 x 100 mm with a 1/2" drive is a purpose-built tool for accessing recessed or hard-to-reach Torx fasteners. Its extended 100 mm shank provides additional reach while maintaining a standard 1/2" square drive interface suitable for common ratchets and torque wrenches. Engineered for maintenance tasks in automotive, industrial and mechanical applications, this long Torx socket bit combines reach and compatibility for precise fastening and loosening operations.

Advantages

The long Torx bit offers extended access to deep-set screws without compromising drive engagement, reducing the need for adapters or extensions. Precision-machined Torx profile ensures a secure fit with minimal cam-out, while the robust construction supports repeated use under mechanical stress. Compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools provides straightforward integration into existing tool sets for workshop and field service work.

Suitable for

• Accessing recessed Torx fasteners in engine bays and machinery housings
• Automotive repair and maintenance tasks requiring extended reach
• Industrial assembly and maintenance where Torx screws are located in deep cavities
• Mechanical servicing of equipment with limited clearance around fasteners

Key specifications

• Torx size: T45
• Drive type: 1/2" square drive
• Overall length: 100 mm (extended shank)
• Tool form: long socket bit with Torx tip
• Application: fastening and loosening Torx screws in recessed or hard-to-reach locations

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" ratchet, torque wrench or impact driver that accepts long socket bits. Insert the 1/2" square drive of the Torx bit into the tool’s drive, then place the Torx tip fully into the screw recess to ensure full contact with the fastener head. Apply torque steadily and avoid lateral forces; if using a torque wrench, set the required torque value according to the fastener specification. After use, inspect the Torx tip for wear and store the bit in a dry tool organizer to maintain condition.

Usage recommendations

Use the Proxxon long Torx bit with compatible 1/2" hand tools for controlled fastening and loosening. Avoid using a worn or damaged tip on critical fasteners and choose an appropriate torque setting when required. For impact tools, confirm the bit and driver compatibility before high-torque operations.
