• Mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks
• Home workshop and DIY projects requiring metric fasteners
• Use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Intended fastener type: metric bolts and nuts
• Length: 77 mm
• Outer width: 27 mm
• Weight: 161 g
• Material: alloy steel suitable for hand tool applications

How to use

Select the socket sized for the metric fastener and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2 inch drive tool such as a ratchet or torque wrench. Position the socket fully over the fastener head before applying torque to ensure even load distribution and avoid rounding. When using torque-controlled tools, set the required torque value according to the fastener specification and apply force steadily. After use, clean the socket of debris and store it in a socket rail or toolbox to prevent corrosion and loss.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with hand-operated or torque-limited drive tools designed for 1/2 inch fittings. Avoid impact tools unless the socket is explicitly rated for impact use. Match socket size and torque settings to the fastener specification to prevent damage to both the tool and the workpiece.
