Socket 1/4" 6-point 14 mm long — Proxxon PR23773

Proxxon 1/4" 6-point 14 mm long socket is a precision hand tool accessory designed for use with 1/4-inch drive ratchets and drivers. The 6-point internal profile provides secure engagement with fastener flats to reduce rounding and slipping. With its extended 14 mm length, the socket reaches recessed nuts and bolts in confined or hard-to-access areas while maintaining accurate torque transfer for mechanical, automotive, and assembly work.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry concentrates contact on the flat sides of fasteners, improving grip and reducing the risk of damage compared with 12-point designs. The long 14 mm body increases reach into deep or obstructed fastener locations without the need for extensions. Made to professional tolerances, the socket is compatible with standard 1/4" drive tools and supports precise manual torque application.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair of small or recessed fasteners
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in tight spaces
• Electrical cabinet and appliance servicing where reach is needed
• Hobbyist and professional workshops using 1/4" drive ratchets and drivers

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4 inch
• Socket profile: 6-point (hex)
• Nominal size: 14 mm
• Overall length: long (14 mm socket length for extended reach)
• Material and finish: manufactured to professional tolerance (steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish)

How to use

Attach the socket to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, spinner or driver until it locks. Position the socket squarely onto the fastener, ensuring full contact on the flats, then apply steady torque in the intended direction. Use appropriate torque control and avoid excessive force to prevent fastener or tool damage. For deep or obstructed fasteners, maintain alignment and use a suitable extension or universal joint only if required.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and mating fastener for wear or damage before use. Use hand tools rated for the required torque and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Store in a dry place to maintain the corrosion-resistant finish and periodically clean and lubricate the drive connection to ensure smooth operation.
