Socket 1/2" AWTools AW38220BL short 20 mm Black Line

Short 1/2" socket from AWTools Black Line, size 20 mm, designed for use with 1/2" drive tools. Constructed from metal to transfer torque reliably between ratchet or hand tool and fastener, this compact socket has a reduced overall length to access recessed or closely surrounded bolts and nuts in confined spaces commonly found in automotive, mechanical and maintenance work.

Advantages

The short 20 mm socket combines a sturdy metal construction with a compact profile to deliver reliable torque transfer while improving access where standard-length sockets cannot reach. The Black Line finish provides surface protection against corrosion and wear, maintaining a consistent fit on fasteners. Its compatible 1/2" drive interface ensures easy attachment to a wide range of ratchets and extension adapters.

Применяется для

• Демонтажа и затяжки крепежа в узких и ограниченных пространствах
• Обслуживания и ремонта автомобилей, двигателей и трансмиссий
• Монтажных и слесарных работ, где требуется короткая насадка для доступа к recessed болтам

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Socket size: 20 mm
• Overall type: short/compact socket
• Material: metal alloy suitable for hand-tool torque transmission
• Finish: Black Line surface treatment for wear and corrosion resistance

How to use

Attach the socket to a 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or suitable adapter. Position the socket squarely on the fastener head and operate the handle with steady force, ensuring correct engagement to avoid rounding the fastener. For recessed or obstructed fasteners, use the short length to gain access; if additional reach is needed, combine with a compatible extension or universal joint while maintaining safe torque limits.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before each use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and select matching socket and drive sizes to prevent slippage. Store in a dry tool chest to preserve the Black Line finish and prolong service life.
