Socket 1/4" 13 mm (6-point) Rockforce RF-52513

Rockforce 1/4" 13 mm six-point socket RF-52513 is a compact hand tool designed for use with 1/4-inch drive ratchets and drivers. The 13 mm size and six-point internal profile ensure accurate engagement with hex fasteners, helping to reduce rounding and slipping during tightening or loosening operations. The socket is intended for general mechanical, automotive and household tasks where a small, reliable socket is needed.

Advantages

The six-point design concentrates contact on the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, improving torque transfer and minimizing damage to bolts and nuts. The 1/4" drive interface provides compatibility with a wide range of compact ratchets, extension bars and adaptor sets. Manufactured to standard hand-tool dimensions, the socket offers a compact form factor that is convenient for use in confined spaces and for portable tool kits.

Suitable for

• Light mechanical repairs and maintenance
• Automotive interior and trim work where smaller fasteners are used
• Household assembly and appliance maintenance
• Electronics enclosures and light-duty service tasks

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4 inch
• Socket size: 13 mm
• Point profile: 6-point (hex)
• Intended connection: square drive receptacle for ratchets and drivers
• Form factor: compact, standard hand-socket length suitable for confined spaces

How to use

Select the 13 mm Rockforce socket that matches the fastener head. Attach the socket to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, driver or extension. Engage the socket fully onto the fastener to ensure firm seating on the flats, then apply torque by turning the driver or ratchet in the required direction. For removal tasks, reverse the ratchet direction. When using with power tools or impact drivers, verify compatibility of the socket material and ratings before applying high torque.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with properly rated 1/4" drive tools and avoid applying excessive torque beyond the capabilities of the socket or the fastener. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear before use, and store the socket in a dry tool roll or case to prevent corrosion.
