Socket 3/8" 24mm 6-point long Proxxon PR23547

Proxxon PR23547 is a long 3/8" drive, 24 mm, 6-point socket engineered for hand ratchets and compatible torque tools. Its extended length provides improved access to recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners, while the 6-point internal profile ensures a precise fit on hex heads, reducing the risk of rounding. The socket is intended for mechanical, automotive and general maintenance work where a reliable 24 mm connection is required.

Advantages

The long design allows engagement with bolts and nuts located deep within assemblies without removing surrounding components. The 6-point profile concentrates contact on flat faces of hex fasteners to minimize wear and slipping under torque. A 3/8" drive makes the socket compatible with a wide range of ratchets and extensions, providing versatility across workshop and field applications.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where recessed 24 mm fasteners are present
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly requiring precise fit on hex bolts
• Industrial and domestic maintenance tasks with 24 mm nuts and bolts
• Use with hand ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions with a 3/8" drive

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/8"
• Socket size: 24 mm
• Profile: 6-point (hex)
• Length: extended/long design for recessed fasteners
• Intended use: hand ratchets and compatible torque tools

How to use

Select a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet, extension or torque wrench and fit the socket securely onto the square drive. Place the socket squarely over the 24 mm hex fastener and apply torque along the tool axis to avoid side loading. For fastening operations where specific torque values are required, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the fastener manufacturer’s torque specifications. Remove the socket by pulling it straight off the drive after use and store it in a socket rail or holder to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and avoid impact tools unless the socket is explicitly specified as impact-rated. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear before applying high torque and replace any damaged tools to maintain safety and prevent fastener damage.
