Socket 1/2" 24 mm Hartsson 17C324Z, 12-point

Hartsson 12-point 1/2" 24 mm socket is a compact tool designed for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and extension bars. It fits 24 mm hexagonal fasteners while its 12-point profile allows engagement at multiple angles, enabling access in confined spaces and reducing the risk of rounding on bolt heads. The socket is engineered for general automotive, mechanical and maintenance tasks where a balance of accessibility and contact precision is required.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry provides more engagement positions compared to a 6-point socket, which simplifies alignment on fasteners in tight locations. Its 24 mm size covers common metric nuts and bolts used in vehicle assemblies and machinery. The compact length and 1/2" drive compatibility make the socket suitable for use with standard ratchets, torque wrenches and breaker bars. The design focuses on secure grip and practical usability for repeated fastening and loosening operations.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance — wheel nuts, engine components and suspension fasteners
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Workshop and industrial equipment maintenance
• Situations requiring access to recessed or angled fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket opening: 24 mm
• Point profile: 12-point
• Compatibility: standard 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars
• Application: metric fasteners

How to use

Select the 24 mm Hartsson socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive tool. Position the socket squarely onto the fastener, ensuring full engagement of the 12 points. Use steady, controlled force when loosening or tightening; where specified, apply a torque wrench to reach the required torque value. If working in confined spaces, engage the socket at any available angle provided by the 12-point profile to gain access without risking slippage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and drive tool before use for signs of wear or damage. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and apply torque within tool and fastener specifications. For high-torque removal of seized fasteners, consider using a breaker bar or impact-rated tools designed for heavy-duty use.
