Socket bit 1/2" 24 mm Hartsson 6-point (model 17A324Z)

Hartsson 6-point socket bit with 1/2" drive and 24 mm size is a single-piece hand tool designed for fastening and loosening hexagonal nuts and bolts. The 6-point profile provides a precise fit on fastener heads to reduce rounding and slippage. Compatible with hand ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches that accept a 1/2" square drive, this socket bit is intended for workshop, garage and industrial environments where reliable torque transfer and durability are required.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry ensures even contact across flats of the fastener, minimizing corner deformation and improving torque delivery. Its 1/2" square drive interface provides broad compatibility with common drive tools. The 24 mm size covers a frequent fastener dimension used in automotive repair and mechanical assembly. The single-socket design simplifies handling and positioning in confined spaces while maintaining sufficient wall thickness for strength and resistance to wear during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel/engine fasteners
• Mechanical assembly and maintenance of machinery
• General workshop and garage fastening tasks
• Use with torque wrenches where accurate torque application is required

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive)
• Socket opening: 24 mm
• Point profile: 6-point (hexagonal)
• Intended use: hand ratchets, breaker bars, torque wrenches
• Typical applications: automotive, mechanical maintenance, assembly

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive tool and attach the socket bit by pushing it onto the square drive until it seats securely. Place the 6-point opening fully over the hexagonal fastener, ensuring flush contact on the flats before applying torque. Apply force steadily and avoid sudden impacts unless the tool and socket are rated for impact use. For torque-critical applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow specified torque values for the fastener type and material.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket bit before use for signs of wear or damage; replace if rounding or cracks are present. Use the correct socket size to prevent fastener damage. For high-torque or impact applications, confirm the socket material and rating are suitable. Store in a dry tool chest or rack to prevent corrosion and keep the drive connection free of debris.
