Socket 1/2" AWTools 24 mm short hexagon Black Line AW38224BL

Short 1/2" hexagon socket from the AWTools Black Line series, size 24 mm. The AWTools Socket 1/2" 24 mm short hexagon is made for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches to tighten and loosen hex fasteners. Its compact short length is suitable for working in confined spaces while providing the strength needed for general mechanical, automotive, and maintenance operations.

Advantages

The socket delivers a reliable fit on 24 mm hex heads and is designed for frequent use with hand tools. Its reduced length improves access where longer sockets cannot reach, and the standard 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with common ratchets and torque wrenches. The Black Line finish offers surface protection against corrosion and helps reduce glare during work.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Workshop and garage tasks in confined spaces
• Use with torque wrenches for controlled fastening

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch

How to use

Select the 24 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Position the socket squarely on the hex fastener, apply controlled turning force, and avoid side loading that can damage the fastener or socket. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value before applying force. After use, clean the socket of debris and store in a dry place to preserve the finish.

Usage recommendations

Use with properly rated hand tools and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Regularly inspect for wear or rounding; replace if the hex profile becomes damaged. Apply a light lubricant to the drive interface if needed to prevent seizing and ensure smooth attachment and removal.
