Socket WTYKA TYP 26 13 mm RQS REC 26SFTF13 — RQS 13 mm

WTYKA TYP 26 13 mm RQS (REC 26SFTF13) is a 13 mm socket from RQS engineered to engage 13 mm hex fasteners with a precise fit. Designed for use with compatible drive tools, this socket supports common workshop, automotive maintenance and mechanical repair tasks where controlled torque and reliable contact with nuts and bolts are required.

Advantages

The socket offers an accurate 13 mm internal profile that reduces rounding of fastener corners and ensures stable engagement during tightening and loosening. Manufactured to fit standard drives, it provides consistent contact and straightforward interchangeability with ratchets, extensions and adapters. Its compact design allows access in confined spaces while maintaining sufficient wall thickness for durability under regular workshop loads.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repairs involving 13 mm nuts and bolts
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks
• Workshop use with ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions
• Household repairs requiring a reliable 13 mm socket

Key specifications

• Socket size: 13 mm internal hex
• Type: straight socket suitable for hex fasteners
• Drive compatibility: standard drive tools (ratchet/extension/adapter)
• Profile: accurate hex engagement to minimize fastener damage
• Construction: designed for regular workshop and maintenance use

How to use

Select a compatible drive tool and attach the socket securely to the ratchet, torque wrench or extension. Place the 13 mm socket fully onto the nut or bolt head to ensure proper engagement before applying torque. Turn the drive tool in the required direction to tighten or loosen the fastener, applying steady force and observing torque settings when using a torque wrench. After use, clean the socket of debris and store it in a tool organizer to prevent loss and corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the socket with a ratchet or torque wrench of matching drive size and avoid using excessive force beyond the tool’s rated torque. Inspect fastener contact surfaces and the socket for wear before critical applications; replace the socket if significant wear or deformation is observed.
