Suitable for automotive, mechanical and maintenance tasks requiring an extended 8 mm socket.

## Long description

Honiton Socket 12-point 1/2" H1508, 8 mm long is an extended 12-point socket designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and handles. The long body gives extra reach for recessed or hard-to-access hex fasteners while the 12-point internal profile allows easier alignment on bolt heads and nuts in confined spaces. Constructed for routine automotive, mechanical and maintenance applications, this 8 mm long socket provides a balance of reach and compact fit for small metric fasteners.
Advantages
The extended length increases accessibility to fasteners located in deep or recessed areas without needing additional adapters. A 12-point profile reduces the need for precise orientation, permitting quicker engagement on hex heads and enabling work in tighter spaces. Manufactured to standard dimensions for 1/2" drive tools, the socket integrates with common ratchets and handles used in professional and DIY toolkits.
Suitable for
Automotive repair and maintenance where access is limited
Mechanical assembly and disassembly of small metric fasteners
Workshop and field service tasks requiring extended reach
Situations needing frequent repositioning or quick alignment on bolts and nuts
When it may not be suitable
This 8 mm extended 12-point socket is not suited for fasteners that require very high torque beyond the mechanical limits of sockets and 1/2" drive tools; use a torque-rated tool or larger drive if higher torque is needed. It is also not ideal where maximum compactness is required, for example inside extremely tight enclosures where even a short socket would be preferable.
Key specifications
Internal size: 8 mm
Drive size: 1/2" (for use with 1/2" ratchets and handles)
Profile: 12-point (double hex) for easier alignment
Form factor: long/extended socket for increased reach
How to use
Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or handle and attach the extended socket securely to the square drive. Position the socket over the 8 mm hex fastener, then engage the ratchet to apply turning force. For loosening tight fasteners, use controlled, steady force and consider using penetrating lubricant on corroded threads. After use, wipe the socket clean and store in a socket rail or organizer to prevent loss and corrosion.
What to consider before purchase
Confirm that the fastener size is 8 mm and that a 12-point socket is appropriate for the application
Ensure your ratchet or handle is 1/2" drive to match the socket
Consider whether an extended length is necessary for reach or if a standard-length socket would be better for tight spaces
Usage recommendations
Use the Honiton 12-point 1/2" 8 mm long socket with a properly rated 1/2" drive ratchet for general automotive and mechanical tasks. Avoid applying excessive torque beyond the tool ratings and store the socket dry after use to prolong service life.
