1/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket, 6mm

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive 6-point long hand socket is engineered for precision fastening work where access depth and control matter. The extended 50mm length allows technicians to reach fasteners recessed in tight cavities without extension bars, reducing tool complexity on the bench. The 6-point profile prevents cam-out and rounding of fastener heads—a critical advantage over 12-point alternatives when working with worn or delicate fasteners. The knurled grip band provides tactile feedback and control during hand-torquing operations. Whether you're stocking individual sizes or building a comprehensive 1/4-inch socket collection, these tools deliver consistent performance across precision hand socket applications.
