Socket bit 1/2" drive 12-point 11 mm Honiton H1711

Honiton Socket bit 1/2" drive 12-point 11 mm H1711 is a 12-point (double-hex) socket designed for use with standard 1/2" drive ratchets and torque tools. It is intended for fastening and loosening 12-point bolts, studs and fasteners encountered in automotive, mechanical and industrial maintenance. The 11 mm size and 12-point geometry provide multiple engagement positions and allow work in tighter spaces compared with larger polygon sockets.

Advantages

The 12-point configuration provides reliable engagement with 12-point fasteners and enables incremental rotation where clearance is limited. Machined to close tolerances, the socket bit offers uniform contact across the fastener faces to reduce slipping and rounding. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools ensures it can be used with common ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches for accurate tightening and repeatable torque application.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance — engine, transmission and chassis fasteners
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly in workshops
• Industrial maintenance where 12-point bolts or studs are used
• Situations requiring use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches or impact adapters

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible
• Socket geometry: 12-point (double-hex)
• Nominal size: 11 mm
• Typical applications: fastening and loosening 12-point bolts and studs
• Material and finish: machined metal suitable for use with hand and torque tools (manufacturer standard)

How to use

Select the 11 mm 12-point socket bit and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or compatible extension. Position the socket fully onto the fastener until it seats on the faces of the bolt or stud. Apply steady turning force with the ratchet or set the required torque on a torque wrench and operate according to the fastener and tool manufacturer’s specifications. When removing fasteners, reverse the ratchet direction and maintain controlled force to avoid slipping or damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket bit and fastener condition before use; avoid using damaged sockets or rounded fasteners. Use the socket with tools rated for the required torque and, where applicable, employ impact-rated sockets and adapters for power tools. Store the socket in a dry tool organizer to prevent corrosion and maintain fitment accuracy.
