Socket bit 1/4" 6-point 10 mm long — Proxxon PR23778

Proxxon PR23778 is a 1/4" drive, 6-point long socket bit with a 10 mm internal width designed for use with 1/4" drive ratchets, screwdrivers and bit holders. Its extended length gives improved access to recessed fasteners while the 6-point internal profile provides firm contact with hex-headed bolts and nuts to reduce rounding and slippage. The socket is intended for precision mechanical, automotive and general repair tasks where a reliable, compact 10 mm socket is required.

Advantages

The long 6-point design combines reach and strong engagement on hex fasteners, helping to minimize damage to bolt heads. The 1/4" drive compatibility allows use with a wide range of compact ratchets, bit drivers and extension tools. Its compact diameter and extended length make it suitable for confined spaces and recessed nuts. The tool is manufactured to meet requirements of precision repair work and routine maintenance.

Suitable for

• Accessing recessed 10 mm hex bolts and nuts in tight spaces
• Precision mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Automotive light repairs and maintenance
• General household and workshop repair tasks

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4"
• Internal profile: 6-point (hex)
• Internal width: 10 mm
• Type: long socket bit for recessed fasteners
• Compatibility: designed for use with 1/4" ratchets, bit holders and screwdrivers

How to use

Select the socket bit and attach it securely to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, screwdriver handle or bit holder. Ensure the fastener and socket are clean and free of debris, then engage the 6-point profile squarely onto the hex head. Apply steady torque appropriate for the fastener and material, avoiding excessive force that could strip threads or damage the fastener. When working in confined or recessed areas, position any required extensions or universal joints before applying torque.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specified for impact use. Keep the socket clean and store it in a protective case to maintain fit accuracy. For stubborn or corroded fasteners, apply penetrating lubricant and use gradual, controlled torque.
