Socket bit 1/2" 15 mm, 6-point, Hartsson 17A315Z

Hartsson 17A315Z is a 6-point socket bit with a 1/2" square drive and a 15 mm hex size, designed for reliable engagement with hex-head bolts and nuts. The socket bit is compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches, providing a secure fit for turning fasteners in mechanical, automotive and general workshop applications. Constructed for repeated use where a strong 6-point contact is preferred, this socket bit supports accurate torque transfer and reduces rounding of fastener corners.

Advantages

The 6-point configuration ensures full-face contact with hex fasteners, minimizing slippage and rounding. The 1/2" square drive offers broad compatibility with common hand tools and torque wrenches used in professional and home workshops. The 15 mm size covers a frequent dimension in automotive and machinery maintenance, reducing the need for adaptors. The socket bit’s robust construction provides durability under regular torque cycles and workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly
• General workshop fastening and loosening tasks
• Use with 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive type: 1/2" square drive
• Hex size: 15 mm
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Compatibility: fits standard 1/2" ratchets and torque wrenches
• Typical applications: automotive, mechanical, general workshop use

How to use

Select the 15 mm 6-point socket bit for the matching hex fastener and attach it to a 1/2" ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket fully seats on the fastener head before applying torque. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value and apply steady force until the wrench indicates the set torque. After use, inspect the socket for wear and store it in a toolbox or socket rail to protect the drive and hex faces.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this 6-point socket bit with tools rated for the required torque. Avoid using damaged or rounded fasteners with the socket to prevent tool slippage. Regularly check the socket for signs of wear and replace if the hex or drive shows deformation.
