Socket 1/2" 29 mm Hartsson 6-point tool, model 17A329Z

Hartsson 6-point socket, 1/2" drive, 29 mm size (model 17A329Z) is a hand tool engineered for engaging hexagonal fasteners with six-point contact. Designed for use with 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and handles, this socket provides secure fitment to reduce rounding and ensure consistent torque transfer. It is intended for automotive, workshop and industrial maintenance where a durable, precise socket is required.

Advantages

The six-point design concentrates contact on the flats of fasteners to minimize rounding and slipping. Manufactured with a robust construction, the socket withstands repeated use under mechanical loads and delivers reliable torque transmission. Its 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with common ratchets and torque tools, while the 29 mm opening fits standard hex fasteners of that size for accurate engagement.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Workshop mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Industrial maintenance tasks requiring high torque
• Use with 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and breaker bars

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket size: 29 mm
• Contact pattern: 6-point (hex) geometry
• Intended connection: square drive receptacle for standard ratchet tools
• Primary application: tightening and loosening hexagonal fasteners

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or handle and push the square drive into the socket until it seats. Place the 29 mm socket onto the hex fastener ensuring full engagement on the flats. Apply torque smoothly, avoiding sudden impacts unless the socket is rated for impact use. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value and apply force until the wrench indicates the target. After use, inspect the socket for wear, clean and store in a dry tool chest.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and avoid excessive levering or use with pneumatic impact tools unless the socket material is specified for impact duty. Regularly check for rounding or cracks and replace the socket if deformation is detected to maintain safe and accurate fastening.
