Socket Hazet 900Z-30 1/2" drive, metric socket, Ø 4.01 cm, length 50 mm, made in Germany

Hazet 900Z-30 is a metric socket with a 1/2" (12.5 mm) square drive designed for mechanical and maintenance tasks. The socket is 50 mm long with an outside 12-point traction profile and a working diameter of 40.1 mm. Manufactured in Germany, this tool is intended for tightening and loosening metric fasteners and integrates with standard 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions. The socket’s construction and geometry are tailored to provide controlled contact with fastener heads while enabling access in confined areas.

Advantages

The Hazet 900Z-30 offers a robust 12-point outside profile that permits engagement on fasteners in multiple positions, reducing the need for repositioning. Its 50 mm length balances reach and access, allowing work on recessed or partially obstructed bolts. Precision manufacturing in Germany ensures consistent fit and surface finish, while the 1/2" square drive provides compatibility with a wide range of professional hand tools. The design maintains torque transfer efficiency for reliable tightening and loosening operations.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and engine maintenance where metric sockets are required
• Industrial machinery servicing and assembly of metric fasteners
• Workshop and garage tasks needing a 1/2" drive socket with extended reach
• Maintenance tasks in confined or recessed fastening points

How to use

Select the Hazet 900Z-30 socket when the task requires a 30 mm metric socket with a 1/2" drive. Fit the socket onto a compatible 1/2" ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench and seat it fully onto the fastener head to ensure proper contact with the 12-point profile. Apply force using the chosen drive tool, observing required torque settings when tightening. For loosening, apply steady turning force and avoid sudden impacts if using a hand tool not rated for impact. After use, clean debris from the socket and store it on a rail or in a socket set tray to protect the mating surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools and torque settings appropriate for 30 mm metric fasteners. Avoid using the socket with impact wrenches unless it is specifically marked for impact service. Regularly inspect the 12-point profile and drive end for wear and replace the socket if rounding or damage is observed to maintain safe and accurate torque transfer.
