Socket bit 1/4" 6.5 mm Proxxon PR23715 hexagonal

Proxxon PR23715 is a 1/4" drive hexagonal socket bit with a 6.5 mm internal size designed for precise engagement with hex fasteners. It is intended for use with 1/4" ratchets, bit holders and compact torque tools, providing a compact solution when a small hex socket is required for assembly, maintenance and repair tasks. The socket's geometry and fit ensure reliable torque transfer in tight spaces and repeatable positioning on hex heads and screws.

Advantages

The socket bit offers accurate sizing and a secure fit to reduce rounding of hex fasteners. Its 1/4" drive compatibility makes it suitable for a wide range of hand tools and bit holders, while the short, compact profile enhances access in confined or recessed locations. Manufactured by a specialist tools brand, the bit is designed to withstand typical workshop loads encountered during automotive, electronics and general DIY work.

Suitable for

• Assembly and tightening of small hex screws and bolts
• Maintenance and repair work in automotive and motorbike applications
• Electronics and precision equipment servicing where small, accurate sockets are needed
• General DIY tasks requiring a compact 6.5 mm hex socket on a 1/4" drive

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" (6.35 mm)
• Internal hex size: 6.5 mm
• Socket profile: hexagonal
• Intended use: manual ratchets, bit holders and compact torque tools
• Typical applications: automotive, electronics, general DIY

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" drive wrench, ratchet or bit holder and secure the socket bit in the tool's square drive or magnetic/retention bit holder. Position the hex socket over the fastener head, ensuring full seating to avoid cam-out, then apply steady torque appropriate to the fastener and material. For repeated removal and installation, confirm the socket remains free of debris and inspect for wear before reuse.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket bit with tools rated for the expected torque and avoid applying impact forces unless the bit and tool are specified for impact use. Keep the socket clean and free of oil or dirt to maintain a secure fit and inspect periodically for signs of rounding or damage. For precision assemblies, torque to manufacturer specifications using a calibrated torque tool where required.
