Socket bit 1/2" Honiton H1530 — 6‑point, 30 mm long

Honiton H1530 is a 1/2" drive socket bit engineered for reliable fastening and maintenance operations. The tool has a 6‑point profile and a 30 mm length that allows access to recessed or partially obstructed hex fasteners. It is compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars, providing stable engagement and torque transfer for repeatable results in automotive, industrial and household applications.

Advantages

The 6‑point geometry concentrates contact on the flats of fasteners to reduce rounding and slipping under load. A 30 mm shaft gives additional reach compared with standard short sockets, enabling work in tighter or deeper spaces. The 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with common hand tools and power tool adapters, and the precision-machined drive and socket faces provide consistent fit and torque transmission.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where deeper access to hex nuts and bolts is needed
• Industrial assembly and service tasks requiring strong, slip-resistant engagement
• Household repairs involving recessed fasteners or constrained access
• Use with torque wrenches for controlled tightening of threaded connections

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible interface
• Profile: 6‑point (hex) contact
• Length: 30 mm overall socket length
• Suitable fastener type: hex nuts and bolts
• Intended use: manual and torque-controlled fastening operations

How to use

Select the socket bit size that matches the hex fastener and attach it securely to a 1/2" ratchet, torque wrench or extension. Position the socket onto the fastener, ensuring full seating on the flats before applying torque. For removal, turn counterclockwise; for installation, turn clockwise while monitoring torque when using a torque wrench. Use extension bars where additional reach or clearance is required, and avoid side loading that can damage the fastener or bit.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket bit and fastener for wear or damage before use. Use the 6‑point socket for rounded or high-torque applications to improve grip. When applying high torque, employ a torque wrench and observe manufacturer torque specifications for the threaded assembly. Store the bit in a dry, organized toolset to prevent corrosion and preserve fit accuracy.
