Socket Bit Proxxon TX 30 — 3/8" drive, 50 mm length

The Proxxon TX 30 socket bit for 3/8" drive is a 50 mm long Torx bit engineered for use with hand ratchets and power tool adapters that accept a 3/8" square drive. Designed to reach recessed Torx fasteners, this medium-length TX 30 bit combines the precision fit of a Torx profile with the stability of a socket-style attachment, making it suitable for work where controlled torque and access are required.

Advantages

This TX 30 socket bit offers precise engagement with Torx fasteners to reduce cam-out and wear on both tool and fastener. The 50 mm length provides additional reach compared to short bits while maintaining rigidity for controlled torque transfer. Compatibility with 3/8" square drive tools allows use with a wide range of hand ratchets, extensions and power tool adapters, enabling flexible application across mechanical and assembly tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair where recessed Torx fasteners are present
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of components with TX 30 fasteners
• Workshop tasks requiring medium-length reach with a 3/8" drive connection

Key specifications

• Drive type: 3/8" square drive socket connection
• Bit profile: TX 30 (Torx)
• Overall bit length: 50 mm
• Attachment format: socket-style bit for use with ratchets and adapters

How to use

Select a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet, extension or adapter and insert the socket bit securely into the square drive. Engage the TX 30 tip with the Torx fastener ensuring full seating before applying torque. For power tool use, attach the bit via an appropriate adapter and operate at controlled speed and torque settings suitable for the fastener and material to avoid damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bit tip and fastener for damage before use, and ensure correct seating to minimize slippage. Use torque-limiting tools or settings for sensitive fasteners and avoid excessive impact or over-torquing to prolong bit life.
