Socket bit 1/4" 7 mm (6-point) Rockforce RF-5255007

Deep socket bit with a 1/4" square drive and a 7 mm, 6-point internal profile from Rockforce. Model RF-5255007 is designed to reach recessed hexagonal fasteners and provide a secure fit on bolts and nuts. The bit is compatible with standard 1/4" hand ratchets, extension bars and driver handles commonly used in automotive, mechanical and household repair tasks.

Advantages

This 7 mm 6-point deep socket provides concentrated contact with hexagonal fasteners to reduce rounding and slipping. The deep configuration allows access to recessed or long-stud bolts while maintaining a firm engagement. The 1/4" drive size ensures compatibility with a wide range of compact ratchets and driver handles, making it a convenient choice for confined spaces and precision work.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening recessed hex bolts and nuts in engine bays and mechanical assemblies
• Automotive maintenance where compact 1/4" drive tools are preferred
• Household repairs and furniture assembly requiring access to countersunk or recessed fasteners
• Precision mechanical and hobby work that needs small, accurate socket engagement

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" square drive
• Socket profile: 6-point (hexagonal)
• Socket size: 7 mm
• Type: deep socket bit for recessed fasteners
• Compatibility: designed for use with 1/4" hand ratchets, extensions and driver handles

How to use

Select a matching 1/4" drive ratchet or driver handle and attach the socket bit securely to the square drive. Place the 6-point socket over the hexagonal head of the bolt or nut, ensuring full contact with the fastener surfaces. Apply steady turning force with the ratchet or handle, using an extension if necessary to reach recessed fasteners. Avoid excessive impact or torque beyond the specifications of the fastener and tool being used.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the 7 mm socket fully engages the fastener before applying torque. Use hand tools suited to the 1/4" drive to prevent damage to the socket or fastener; if higher torque is required, consider using a larger drive size or a socket specifically rated for impact use. Regularly inspect the socket for wear and replace if deformation or cracking appears.
