1/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket, 4–14mm Range

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive 6-point long hand socket delivers extended reach for working in tight, confined spaces where standard shallow sockets fall short. The elongated barrel design—50mm in length—provides clearance for fasteners recessed in component cavities, making it essential for precision assembly, electronics work, and detailed mechanical applications. Built with a chrome-plated finish and featuring a knurled grip ring for secure hand control, this socket performs reliably across applications requiring both accuracy and accessibility. For additional flexibility, consider complementary precision socket sets to expand your tool coverage.

Key Features

• Extended Length Design: 50mm barrel length accommodates recessed fasteners and tight working environments
• 6-Point Profile: Reduces cam-out risk compared to 12-point alternatives; maintains fastener contact integrity
• Knurled Grip Ring: Provides positive hand purchase for controlled turning without slipping
• Chrome Finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant coating for long service life
• Wide Size Range: 11 sizes from 4mm to 14mm in a single drive class—comprehensive coverage for most precision work
• 1/4-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/4" ratchets, extensions, and hand tools
