Socket 3/4" 60 mm (12-point) Honiton F-56960

Socket 3/4" 60 mm (12-point) Honiton F-56960 is a work socket designed for use with 3/4" drive ratchets and breakers. Its 12-point internal profile allows multiple engagement positions on hex and bi-hex fasteners, making it easier to reach bolts in confined or awkward spaces. The 60 mm overall length provides extra reach compared with standard sockets while maintaining strength for higher torque applications common in automotive, industrial and heavy-duty maintenance.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry reduces the need for precise alignment and enables quicker indexing on rounded or partially damaged fasteners. Constructed to withstand elevated torque, the socket is suitable for repeated use with impact or lever tools when paired appropriately. Its 60 mm length balances reach and control, giving access to recessed nuts while minimizing bending and slip risks on the fastener face.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel service where large drive tools are used
• Industrial maintenance involving heavy machinery fasteners
• Construction and assembly tasks requiring high torque and extended reach
• Situations with limited access where multiple indexing improves engagement

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4" compatible with corresponding ratchets and breakers
• Length: 60 mm overall length for extended reach
• Profile: 12-point internal geometry for multiple engagement positions
• Material and finish: engineered for high torque applications (steel alloy with durable surface treatment)
• Compatibility: fits standard 3/4" sockets and accessories

How to use

Select a 3/4" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench compatible with the socket. Place the socket squarely onto the fastener and ensure it is fully seated before applying torque. For stuck or rusted fasteners use a breaker bar first to apply steady force, then switch to a torque-rated tool if precise tightening is required. Inspect the socket and fastener surfaces for wear or rounding and replace the socket if deformation or excessive wear is observed.

Usage recommendations

Use with appropriate personal protective equipment and matched drive tools; avoid impact use beyond the socket and tool ratings and do not modify the socket. Store in a dry toolbox or socket rail to prevent corrosion and inspect regularly when used in heavy-duty or industrial environments.
