Socket bit 1/4" 13 mm 6-point — Rockforce RF-5255013

Rockforce 1/4" 13 mm deep socket with a 6-point profile designed for use with 1/4" drive ratchets and extensions. The deep-wall construction reaches recessed nuts and bolts while the 6-point configuration provides a secure contact with hex heads to reduce rounding. This socket is intended for general mechanical work, automotive repairs, maintenance and assembly tasks that require extra reach and a firm grip on fasteners.

Advantages

The 6-point design concentrates torque on flat surfaces of hex fasteners, improving grip and minimizing slippage. The deep-profile construction allows access to recessed or long-threaded fasteners that standard shallow sockets cannot reach. Made to fit 1/4" drive tools, the socket is compact and convenient for use in confined spaces. The durable finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs on small fasteners and components
• Maintenance and service tasks in workshops
• Assembly work requiring access to recessed nuts and bolts
• Use with 1/4" drive ratchets, T-handles and extensions

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" (6.35 mm)
• Socket size: 13 mm
• Points: 6-point (hex) profile
• Type: deep socket (deep-wall)
• Material and finish: corrosion-resistant finish suitable for workshop use

How to use

Select the 13 mm socket for the corresponding hex fastener, attach it securely to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet or extension, and engage the fastener head fully before applying torque. For fastening, turn the ratchet in the tightening direction until the required torque or seating is achieved; for loosening, reverse the direction. When working in confined or recessed areas, use an appropriate extension or universal joint to improve access. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before use and avoid applying excessive torque beyond tool or fastener specifications.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for 1/4" drive and avoid high-impact air or electric tools unless the socket is specifically specified for impact use. Keep the socket clean and dry after use and store it with the rest of your 1/4" drive set to prevent damage and ensure long service life.
