Socket bit 6-point 1/4" 11 mm long, Proxxon PR23777

Proxxon 6-point socket bit with a 1/4" drive and 11 mm diameter in a long version, designed for use with compatible 1/4" ratchets and bit holders. The tool provides a precise fit for 6-point fasteners, allowing accurate torque transfer and reduced rounding of bolt heads. Its extended length helps reach recessed or obstructed fasteners in mechanical, automotive and maintenance applications.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry ensures full contact with flat sides of fasteners, minimising slip and wear. A long shank increases accessibility in confined or recessed areas without compromising stability. The 1/4" drive format is compatible with a wide range of bit holders and ratchets, making the socket bit versatile within existing tool sets. Manufactured to Proxxon standards, the bit is intended to deliver consistent fit and reliable torque transmission for repeated use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair tasks where extended reach is needed
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of machinery with recessed fasteners
• Routine maintenance and service work in workshops and home garages
• Use with 1/4" ratchets, bit holders and extensions for confined spaces

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" compatible
• Socket geometry: 6-point
• Nominal socket size: 11 mm
• Form factor: long version for increased reach
• Intended application: hand tool use with ratchets, bit holders and extensions

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet or bit holder and secure the Proxxon 6-point socket bit in place. Position the socket fully onto the fastener so the 6-point faces engage the flat sides of the bolt or nut. Apply steady torque through the ratchet or driver, avoiding sudden impacts or excessive force that could damage the fastener. For recessed or obstructed fasteners, use suitable extensions or universal joints while maintaining alignment to prevent slipping.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the socket bit is the correct size for the fastener to prevent rounding. Use appropriate torque settings where specified and inspect the bit for wear or deformation before use. Store the bit in a dry place and keep it clean of dirt and grease to maintain fit and prolong service life.
