Socket 1/2" 6-point 23 mm Unior U600864

Unior 1/2" 6-point 23 mm socket (U600864) is a hand tool accessory intended for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and handles. The six-point profile fits hexagonal fasteners and provides stable contact to help reduce rounding. The socket is suitable for automotive, mechanical and maintenance work where a precisely fitting 23 mm socket is required.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry delivers concentrated torque to flat sides of fasteners rather than corners, improving grip and reducing the risk of damage. Manufactured by Unior, the socket is designed for compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools and workshop use. Its 23 mm size covers a common range of nuts and bolts found on vehicles and machinery, allowing efficient tightening and loosening operations.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance (engine, suspension, wheel fasteners)
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Workshop and industrial maintenance tasks requiring a 23 mm socket
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, breakers and extensions

When it may not be suitable

This socket is designed for hexagonal fasteners and is not suitable for rounded, stripped or non-hexagonal heads. It is a single-size hand tool accessory; if work requires multiple sizes or impact-rated tools, a set or impact sockets should be considered. The socket is intended for manual or non-impact power tools — using it with high-torque impact tools may exceed its design purpose.

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Profile: 6-point (hex)
• Size: 23 mm
• Application: Hand tool socket for tightening and loosening hex fasteners

How to use

Select the 23 mm 6-point socket and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet or handle. Place the socket squarely over the hex fastener, ensuring full seating on the flat sides. Turn the ratchet or handle to tighten or loosen the fastener, applying steady force and avoiding sudden impacts. For fasteners with high torque, use appropriate extensions or leverage tools and take care to avoid exceeding the socket's intended manual use.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the fastener head size is 23 mm and hexagonal in shape
• Verify compatibility with 1/2" drive ratchets and accessories
• Decide if an individual socket meets your needs or if a multi-size set or impact-rated sockets are required

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with properly sized 1/2" drive tools and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specified for impact use. Inspect fasteners for damage before use and ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener to minimize rounding. Store in a socket rail or tool organizer to maintain condition and easy access.
