Socket bit 1/4" 6-point 10 mm Proxxon PR23722

Proxxon 1/4" 6-point 10 mm socket bit PR23722 is a compact hand tool insert designed for use with 1/4" drive ratchets, bit holders and screwdrivers. The 6-point geometry provides a secure grip on hex fasteners and minimizes rounding, while its solid construction ensures precise fit and reliable torque transfer during tightening and loosening operations. This socket bit is intended for professional and DIY applications in automotive, mechanical and general repair work where space is limited and accurate engagement is required.

Advantages

The 6-point design reduces slippage and distributes load across the flats of the fastener for improved contact and reduced wear. Its 1/4" drive compatibility makes it suitable for a wide range of drivers and adapters. The compact length allows access to confined spaces and tight engine bays. Manufactured to Proxxon standards, the bit offers consistent dimensions for repeatable performance and a precise fit on 10 mm hex heads.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and light engine work
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of machines
• Household repairs and furniture assembly
• Electronics enclosures and small appliance servicing where space is restricted

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4"
• Head profile: 6-point (hex)
• Nominal size: 10 mm
• Construction: solid socket bit for manual and powered bit drivers
• Length: compact design for access in confined spaces

How to use

Insert the 1/4" end of the socket bit into a compatible ratchet, bit holder or screwdriver chuck. Align the 6-point hex face with the fastener and apply steady torque to tighten or loosen bolts and nuts. Avoid using with impact drivers unless the bit and driver are rated for impact use. Inspect the bit and fastener interface for wear before applying high torque and replace the bit if rounding or deformation is visible.

Usage recommendations

Use with appropriately sized sockets and torque-limiting tools where specified. Store the bit in a dry, organized tool case to maintain fit accuracy. For prolonged life and optimal performance, avoid excessive side loading and use a correct driver length or extension when working in restricted spaces.
