Socket 1/2" Topex 16 mm hex long, model 38D755

Long hex socket Topex 16 mm with 1/2" drive (model 38D755) is designed for tightening and loosening hexagonal fasteners in recessed or narrow spaces. The elongated socket profile gives extra reach compared with standard sockets while remaining compatible with common 1/2" ratchets, extensions and adapters. Constructed for routine workshop and field use, this tool is suitable for mechanics and technicians who need reliable access to bolts and nuts located in confined positions.

Advantages

The long 16 mm hex socket provides extended reach to access recessed fasteners without requiring disassembly of surrounding components. Its 1/2" drive compatibility ensures straightforward use with widely available ratchets and extension bars. Precision-machined hex geometry offers a secure fit on fasteners to reduce rounding and slipping. The durable metal finish resists wear from repeated torque applications and simplifies cleaning after use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance tasks
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in tight spaces
• General workshop and household mechanical jobs
• Use with ratchet handles and extension bars for improved reach

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Socket size: 16 mm hex
• Type: long/extended hex socket
• Material: hardened steel with corrosion-resistant finish
• Fit: precision hex profile for reduced fastener rounding

How to use

Select the 16 mm long hex socket and fit it onto a 1/2" drive ratchet or extension. Align the socket squarely with the hex fastener, then apply torque using steady, controlled motion. For fasteners recessed within assemblies, use an appropriate length extension to reach the bolt while maintaining a straight line between the ratchet and socket to avoid side load. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a socket rail or tool case to protect the drive interface.

Usage recommendations

To prolong service life and maintain fit, avoid using the socket with impact tools unless specifically rated for impact use. Inspect the hex profile and drive connection regularly for wear; replace the socket if signs of rounding or cracking appear. Use appropriate torque settings for the fastener material to prevent damage.
