Socket Bit 1/2" 6-point 26 mm Hartsson 17A326Z

Hartsson 1/2" 6-point 26 mm socket bit is a hand tool accessory designed for fastening and loosening hexagonal nuts and bolts. Made for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools, the 6-point profile ensures full-face contact with fasteners to reduce the risk of rounding and improve torque transmission. The tool is intended for workshop, automotive, and machinery maintenance tasks where reliable, repeatable fastening is required.

Advantages

The 6-point configuration delivers even contact on fastener flats, minimizing wear and slipping during high-torque applications. The 26 mm size covers a common range of medium to large fasteners encountered in engine, chassis and industrial equipment work. Compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools makes the socket bit easy to integrate into existing tool sets. The construction provides consistent engagement and stability when applying torque.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs—engine and suspension fasteners
• Machinery maintenance and assembly
• General workshop fastening and loosening tasks
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and impact drivers where applicable

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (square drive compatible with 1/2" tools)
• Profile: 6-point (hexagonal) for full-face contact
• Socket size: 26 mm across flats
• Intended use: manual and torque-based fastening and loosening

How to use

Select the 26 mm Hartsson 1/2" 6-point socket bit and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or suitable adapter. Position the socket fully onto the nut or bolt head so the 6-point faces engage evenly on the flats. Apply torque gradually and maintain alignment to avoid slipping; when using a torque wrench, follow the specified torque values for the fastener. After use, inspect the socket for signs of wear and store it with other drive tools to protect the working faces.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this 6-point socket bit with matching fastener sizes and avoid excessive side loading. When high torque is required, verify tool and fastener condition before use and follow manufacturer torque specifications to prevent damage to fasteners or tools.
