Socket 1/2" AWTools 32 mm long Black Line (AW38256BL)

AWTools 1/2" socket 32 mm long from the Black Line series is a deep, single-piece socket designed for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. Its extended length helps access recessed nuts and bolts in automotive, mechanical and maintenance tasks where standard sockets cannot reach. The Black Line finish provides a durable surface suited to workshop conditions while the 32 mm diameter fits common large fasteners.

Advantages

The long design increases reach and clearance when working in tight or recessed spaces without sacrificing torque transfer. Machined internal walls and a precisely sized 12-point profile ensure secure engagement with fasteners to reduce rounding. The finish resists corrosion and surface wear, extending service life in professional and home workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel, suspension and engine fasteners requiring deep access
• Mechanical repair and assembly where bolts sit recessed or behind obstacles
• General maintenance tasks in workshops, garages and industrial settings

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2-inch
• Socket size: 32 mm
• Profile: 12-point internal geometry
• Type: long (deep) socket for extended reach
• Finish: Black Line surface treatment for wear and corrosion resistance
• Material: heat-treated tool steel (hardened for strength)

How to use

Select the 32 mm AWTools long socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2-inch drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Place the socket over the fastener until fully seated on the flats or corners, then apply controlled torque to loosen or tighten the fastener. For torque-critical applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the fastener manufacturer's torque specification. After use, clean and lightly oil the socket before storage to preserve the finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with tools and fasteners matched to the specified drive and size. Avoid applying impact tools or excessive force beyond the socket's design limits to prevent damage. When working on critical assemblies, verify torque settings with an appropriate torque wrench.
