Socket bit, Topex 38D760, 1/2" drive, 6-point, 24 mm, long

Topex 38D760 is a long 6-point socket bit with a 1/2" drive and a 24 mm head size. The tool is intended for fastening and loosening hex fasteners where extended reach is required. The hardened socket design provides a precise fit to reduce rounding of bolt heads, and the 1/2" drive makes it compatible with standard ratchets, torque wrenches and many impact drivers that accept detachable sockets.

Advantages

The 6-point profile grips flats of hex fasteners to distribute force evenly and minimise slippage. The long length increases access to recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners without the need for extensions. Heat-treated steel construction improves wear resistance for repeated workshop and maintenance use. The standard 1/2" drive enables use with a wide range of common hand and power tools.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and servicing, including engine and suspension work
• Workshop maintenance where fasteners are recessed or obstructed
• Assembly and disassembly of machinery with hex bolts
• Use with ratchets, torque wrenches and compatible impact drivers

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket profile: 6-point (hex)
• Nominal size: 24 mm
• Length: long design for extended reach
• Material: hardened steel for improved wear resistance

How to use

Select the 24 mm Topex socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or impact driver. Position the 6-point socket squarely over the hex fastener to ensure full contact with the flats, then apply torque steadily. For removal, turn counterclockwise; for tightening, turn clockwise. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value and operate according to the torque tool manufacturer’s instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with tools and accessories rated for the required torque. Inspect the socket for wear or rounding before use and replace if damaged. For high-torque or impact applications, ensure the drive tool and accessories are suitable for impact-rated sockets to avoid premature failure.
